Reviews
Praise for the first edition: ""This book takes on the largest scientific and ethical challenge of our past and present and does so in an engaging manner."" - Wes Jackson, President, The Land Institute Praise for the first edition: ""Agriculture's Ethical Horizon is both a competent review of value conflicts in agriculture and a striking tale of the intellectual, even spiritual, transformation of an agriculturalist who was a leader in one agriculture's most dramatic technical revolutions, the development of chemical weed control. Everyone will find something to criticize. No alert reader will be left unaffected and most will have responses which, in their sense of being intellectually cool, they will have to admit are profoundly emotional--one way or the other. I predict that whole conferences will be based on this book. Historians of environmental sciences should pay particular attention."" - Stanislaus J. Dundon, California State University, Sacramento
