The Brave New World of Biotechnology
This is a brilliant collection of essays and interviews that examines the magamonster of new technologies, genetic engineering - the highly controversial science of creating living things out of living materials. This eye-opening collection of essays and interviews brings together the viewpoints of an impressive group of people who speak with localist knowledge and perspective across the fields of science, literature, theology, ecology, and activism. Contributors include author Wendell Berry, biologists Richard Strohman and Stuart Newman, and environmental activist Chris Desser.
It is clear that the ecological, moral, ethical, and social issues posed by biotechnology can no longer be ignored. This book will serve as an introduction to - and a springboard for public involvement in - one of the most crucial and perplexing issues of our times.
