Reviews
"This book could be used in the disciplines of food studies, anthropology, government, environmental studies, and social justice studies. . . . Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals."
-- C.L. Lalonde Choice
"Adams’ latest book is a beautifully written, provocative foray into re-thinking the ever-swirling sources of, and possible responses to, chemical injury, urging critical scholars of toxicity to shepherd the swirl towards tangible and embodied forms of environmental justice."
-- Melina Packer Science as Culture
"Highly recommended for professionals and stakeholders in the agriculture, industry, health, and policy sectors. It fosters a deeper awareness and understanding of the realities behind glyphosate’s use and its broader implications for public health and safety."
