Travels In The Genetically Modified Zone

With genetically modified crops we have entered uncharted and hotly contested territory. For two years Canadian scientist and author Mark Winston travelled in North America and the United Kingdom, listening carefully and observing the practice deployed by opponents and proponents - such as scientists in laboratories developing genetically modified crops, dedicated opponents and activists, conventional farmers, and organic farmers.

Through his sympathetic portrayal of the passion on all sides, Winston brings a clear, unbiased perspective to this bewildering landscape. He gives us, at long last, a full and balanced view of the forces at play in agricultural biotechnology.
