It is both a thought-provoking text for undergraduates and a diverse collection of primary sources for scholars..Dunlap valuably provides a succinct overview of the complicated relationships between industry, environment, and the chemical debate.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * Agricultural History *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Thomas R. Dunlap's purpose as editor is one of historian rather than judge; every essay—- no matter which side it argues from—- is precise, intelligent, and revealing of the biases and limits of the decade. Dunlap's introductions to each section adds hints of reflection and even redemption. Books like this remind people to treat today's new miracles with delicate care until they know where every path might lead.\"\u003c\/p\u003e * ForeWord *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword by William Cronon\u003cbr\u003e Preface and Acknowledgments \u003cbr\u003e Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart 1: BACKGROUND\u003cbr\u003e Views of Nature\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
