Description
Drawing from official files, published reports, and the recollections of key individuals, this historical study recounts how conservationists--and, in particular, the Nature Conservancy--discovered the harmful and unexpected side-effects of the large-scale use of pesticides on wildlife in Britain. The author, a historical geographer, provides an unbiased and insightful account of how researchers and policy makers responded to this perceived threat over a period of twenty-five years. The lessons to be drawn from this experience have a broad applicability that will interest agriculturalists, conservationists, ecologists, and all others concerned with wildlife and nature.
