Reviews
Kirchhelle reveals both the local contexts and the global consequences of the historical relationship between antibiotics and food production. Beautifully written and exhaustively researched, this is a crucial work for understanding how we evaluate and react to 'risks' more broadly. --Scott Podolsky Harvard Medical School, author of The Antibiotic Era: Reform, Resistance, and the Pursuit of a Ratio This is a great book! Essential reading for anyone concerned about the rise in antibiotics and resistance: Kirchhelle's carefully researched text reveals the back-stories of antibiotics and farming. --Clare Chandler Professor in Medical Anthropology, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine Pyrrhic Progress is an excellent work of scholarship that makes important, path-breaking contributions to the history of agriculture, pharmaceuticals, politics, and policymaking in the United States and Britain in the post-World War II era. The connection between guarding against and preparing for antimicrobial resistance and climate change is fantastic, and no other work has examined these important issues as exhaustively. --Kendra Smith-Howard University of Wiconsin-Madison, author of Pure and Modern Milk: An Environmental History since 1900
