5.0 out of 5 stars
Guide Still a Great Reference,
This review is from: Basic Guide to Pesticides: Their Characteristics and Hazards (Hardcover)
Bear in mind the book was published in 1992. But the text has withstood the test of time. It's a wealth of information for pesticide educators that can now be supplemented by on-line information. To give you a clue, I don't plan to sell my used copy because of the extensive pesticide-specific data, and the excellent articles I can't find anywhere else. A tribute to Rachel herself.
