Summary:This book starts with depiction of the phosphorus role in life creation and evolution. Then it outlines in which vital processes different phosphates participate in life of all flora and fauna, from DNA molecules till body tissues. Crucial function of phosphates was noticed long ago, but only in XIX century discovery of mineral fertilizers made it possible to sustain the needs of growing global population, thus initiating a ""green revolution"". Though, for many decades after it, the complexity of interactions ""fertilizer-soil-plant roots"" was underrated, causing massive damages, such as soi
