Chemical Lands

Pesticides, Aerial Spraying, and Health in North America's Grasslands Since 1945

Beschreibung

An exploration of the relationship between farmers, aerial sprayers, agriculturalists, crop pests, chemicals, and the environment. David D. Vail's analysis reveals a strong ethic in the North American grasslands where practitioners sought to deploy insecticides by designing local scientific experiments, engineering more precise aircraft sprayers, and developing more narrowly specific chemicals.
