Banned: A History of Pesticides and the Science of Toxicology

Mr. Davis' book is a thorough and excellently written history of pesticides from the 1960's onwards. I don't want to repeat the reviews above, but suffice it to say the reviews are accurate and if readers would like to get an understanding of this area of the history of ecological and environmental protection in the US, this is an excellent start. Though clearly an academic work, Mr. Davis employs a style of writing that makes the book compelling to read to the commerical reader.
