Editorial Reviews
Book Description
A landmark in environmental concerns--this extraordinary book continues the ecological revolution that Rachel Carson started 20 years ago. The risks of pesticide use remain, but the issues today have become conflicts of values. How do we trade off the dangers of toxic chemicals and their cost
to the environment with the benefits of higher agricultural productivity? This book presents a daring new look at these very important concerns.
