Genetically Modified Planet: Environmental Impacts of Genetically Engineered Plants [Hardcover]

C. Neal Stewart Jr. (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 19, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0195157451 | ISBN-13: 978-0195157451

Genetically modified plants are currently causing controversy worldwide; a great deal has been written about their supposed environmental effects. However, the newspaper headlines and public debates often provide a level of reasoning akin to "this is your brain on genetically modified corn," which is to say, they exclude or exaggerate the actual scientific research on the impacts of these plants. Genetically Modified Planet goes beyond the rhetoric to investigate for concerned consumers the actual state of scientific research on genetically modified plants. Stewart argues that while there are indeed real and potential risks of growing engineered crops, there are also real and overwhelmingly positive environmental benefits.

I really liked this book. It was an easy read and well-explained. I cite it a lot in my class and even my husband is reading it now. It seemed to be very complete and addressed many issues in a neutral tone.
