At our February Community Gathering & Potluck, we viewed a BBC documentary on terra preta, the dark earth made by prehistoric Amazonians: "The Secret of El Dorado (The discovery of Biochar)" Click here to view [49 minutes]
Tom Reed, who provided introductory comments before the documentary and lead a lively discussion afterwards, has supplied the following information for those who wish to find out more about biochar. Tom Reed's Youtube videos:
Mini double retort: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PTj_wprUeB0 55 gallon double retort: http://youtu.be/HyEBrbevh2g Experimental TLUD: http://youtu.be/n1EVrglNgbk Tom also recommends the following websites: http://sonomabiocharinitiative.org http://www.biochar-international.org http://www.ithaka-institut.org/en/home. ...and this book: http://www.newsociety.com/Books/B/The-Biochar-Solution One of the subtexts of the El Dorado documentary was the disappearance of the aboriginal peoples after "first contact" with the Europeans.
This is a book about that topic. Click here to read the article on 1491 by Charles C. Mann (The Atlantic, March 2002) that formed the basis for his book, above.
