pp. 210, “It has been over 30 years since Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (LJ 9/15/62) sounded the alarm about the dangers of chemical pesticides. Now Winston (biology, Simon Fraser Univ.; Killer Bees, LJ 2/1/92) is issuing another wake-up call by showing how our battle against pests has become a war on nature. Winston provides case studies demonstrating alternative methods of pest control, explaining how political, social, economic, and biologic interactions behind pest-management decisions have contributed to our failure to replace toxic chemicals as our first method of choice. The author argues that we need to change our philosophy from eradication to control because we will not win the war. Winston has written a convincing and necessary book. “
