| Description: |
A successor to "Silent Spring", this book recounts, in detail, how science and government have tried to protect our endowment of germ plasm through seed banks, breeding programs, botanical gardens, and biosphere reserves. It also reveals how the vaunted productivity of American crops achieved at the expense of their natural genetic diversity. |
| Synopsis: |
Paul Raeburn, science editor of the Associated Press, gives us an eye-opening account of how the genetic manipulation of American crops threatens our food supply-and what we must do to try to avert this disaster. This Bison Books edition carries a new preface by the author. |
