More than half a century since Rachel Carson issued Silent Spring - her call-to-arms against the poisoning of our drinking water, food, animals, air, and the natural environment - The Fight Against Monsanto's Roundup takes a fresh look at the politics underlying the mass use of pesticides and the challenges people around the world are making against the purveyors of poison and the governments that enable them. The scientists and activists contributing to The Fight Against Monsanto's Roundup, edited by long-time Green activist Mitchel Cohen, explore not only the dangers of glyphosate - better known as "Roundup" - but the campaign resulting in glyphosate being declared as a probable cancer-causing agent. In an age where banned pesticides are simply replaced with newer and more deadly ones, and where corporations such as Monsanto, Bayer, Dow and DuPont scuttle attempts to regulate the products they manufacture, what is the effective, practical, and philosophical framework for banning glyphosate and other pesticides? The Fight Against Monsanto's Roundup: The Politics of Pesticides takes lessons from activists who have come before and offers a radical approach that is essential for defending life on this planet and creating for our kids, and for ourselves, a future worth living in." -- Amazon.com. 610 20 $a Monsanto Company. $9 547516 650 0 $a Glyphosate. 650 0 $a Agricultural innovations $x Social aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Agricultural chemicals industry $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Agricultural chemicals industry $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Social responsibility of business. $9 48078 650 0 $a Food supply. $9 8729 700 1 $a Cohen, Mitchel, $e editor. 700 1 $a Shiva, Vandana, $e writer of foreword. $9 806848 941 $a 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20221227010315.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=87E7CD48300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
