Summary

COI synopsis: In this issue we take a closer look at the medium that’s so much around us we forget it’s there... air: what we can do with it; and what it can do to us. High speed planting goes supersonic. Seeds fired into the earth faster than sound will penetrate the hardest soil unscathed - protected by a shockwave of air.
