This book comprises articles from the journal Applied Biodynamics. They are very practical, with little theory, and share the technical know-how for making the biodynamic preparations.

Hugh J. Courtney (1932-2020) first discovered Rudolf Steiner's Agriculture Course in 1975 at a health food store in College Park, Maryland, which led him to Josephine Porter, who was making the biodynamic preparations according to Steiner's indications. Hugh apprenticed under Josephine and, when she died in 1984, he continued her work, founding the Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics in 1985. Hugh was editor of the newsletter Applied Biodynamics.
