520 "It has been nearly 60 years since the publication of
Silent Spring, in which Rachel Carson brought to light
evidence of the devastating ecological effects of
pesticides. This book, by Frank von Hippel, is a sweeping
history of these chemicals and our complicated
relationship with them. It shows how they've made the
modern world possible, while at the same time threatening
its essential fabric. "This book starts with a tragedy
that led scientists on an urgent mission to prevent famine
with chemicals," von Hippel writes in his manuscript's
Prologue. "It ends with the realization that those
chemicals were insidiously damaging human health and
driving species toward extinction." Along the way, we
learn how pesticides' destructive legacy led to the
environmental movement and made possible a new era of
ecological thinking"--|cProvided by publisher.
