Notices of Judgment Under the Insecticide Act, 1841-1870 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The book is an examination of the decades-long history of public health and the use of pesticides, herbicides, and other insecticides as tools of the trade. The book examines a series of public health crisesâ"such as the outbreak of malaria in the Tennessee Valley in the 1930's and 40's or the post-World War-2 DDT spraying epidemicsâ"to investigate the correlation between the use of these chemicals and the decline of disease. It also examines the unintended consequences of these chemical applications, such as the decimation of bird populations in the wake of DDT use. The author explores the historical, political, cultural, and scientific contexts to provide a robust picture of how, where, and why pesticides were used. The book concludes by encouraging readers to consider alternative methods of pest control. By bringing together issues of public health, environmental protection, and political will, this book provides a vital and necessary historical perspective on the use and regulation of pesticides and herbicides in the United States.
