Book excerpt: If you've ever wondered how worms live, you've probably noticed that they look a little bit different than other critters. There are a few facts about earthworms that you should know. Here's some information about their phylum and their body plan. In fact, the body plan is tube-within-tube. This means they are segmented both internally and externally, and they are usually segmented with setae on all their segments. Their distribution ranges across the globe where soil, water, and temperature are common. Among the interesting facts about earthworms are the size and shape of their bodies. Some species are tiny and only an inch or two long. Others grow to be several feet long, and some live up to eight years. Their full size varies wildly, from less than half an inch to over 10 feet. A homegrown worm may grow to be as long as 14 inches long. In the last ice age, glaciers completely wiped out the majority of earthworm species. Despite their size, earthworms do not have ears. Charles Darwin performed experiments to test the ability of earthworms to hear. He found that they responded to vibrations and sound waves from their habitat. Then, he found that they were capable of escaping predators when they were trapped underground. Hence, if you're planning a trip to the woods or the beach, be sure to pack a bag for the worms to scurry out of danger.

Book excerpt: In The Earth Moved, Amy Stewart takes us on a journey through the underground world and introduces us to one of its most amazing denizens. The earthworm may be small, spineless, and blind, but its impact on the ecosystem is profound. It ploughs the soil, fights plant diseases, cleans up pollution, and turns ordinary dirt into fertile land. Who knew? In her witty, offbeat style, Stewart shows that much depends on the actions of the lowly worm. Charles Darwin devoted his last years to the meticulous study of these creatures, praising their remarkable abilities. With the august scientist as her inspiration, Stewart investigates the worm's subterranean realm, talks to oligochaetologists—the unsung heroes of earthworm science—who have devoted their lives to unearthing the complex life beneath our feet, and observes the thousands of worms in her own garden. From the legendary giant Australian worm that stretches to ten feet in length to the modest nightcrawler that wormed its way into the heart of Darwin's last book to the energetic red wigglers in Stewart's compost bin, The Earth Moved gives worms their due and exposes their hidden and extraordinary universe. This book is for all of us who appreciate Mother Nature's creatures, no matter how humble.
