    Description / Table of Contents: "Overall, Pesticides, A Love Story concludes convincingly that American desires to control and dominate nature, as well as an inability to move beyond immediate, short-term decisions, heavily influenced attitudes about pesticides."--Reviews in American History "An excellent example of cultural and environmental history and a must read for any student of postwar American environmentalism or postwar US culture in general."--Environmental History "An excellent contribution to the growing body of scholarship on synthetic pesticides."--American Historical Review "Beyond its accessibility to a broad spectrum of readers, Pesticides, a Love Story offers an impressive breadth of coverage, with sections devoted to the assessment of herbicides, Integrated Pest Management, endocrine disrupters, organic foods, and GMOs, all in addition to the familiar topics like the role of DDT in controlling malaria during WWII."--H-Net Reviews "Provides a detailed history of the global 'love affair' with technology in general and pesticides in particular. . . . A useful and objective--if not dispassionate--and comprehensive account."--Choice "An impressive, thought-provoking work of value to historians specializing in the twentieth century, U.S. diplomacy, environmental politics, science and technology, public health, food policy, communications, and other topics pertaining to the ways synthetic chemical pesticides have endured many challenges to become an entrenched part of modern industrial agriculture."--Journal of American History.
