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 Darwins last book to the energetic red wigglers in Stewarts compost bin  The Earth Moved gives worms their due and exposes their hidden and extraordinary universe.
