---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Latham <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 8:11 PM Subject: Ruthless Power and Deleterious Politics: From DDT to Roundup To: [email protected] Dear Friends and Colleagues Published today (Friday 17th July) on *Independent Science News*: Title: *Ruthless Power and Deleterious Politics: From DDT to Roundup* by Evaggelos Vallianatos http://www.independentsciencenews.org/environment/ruthless-power-and-deleter... *Synopsis:* The modern controversy over Roundup (glyphosate) and the documentation of its effects on humans, animals and soils, has much in common with that over DDT fifty years ago. In particular, it recapitulates attempts to sideline critics and the ongoing delusion of control of the natural world that informs modern agricultural practices. The author, Evaggelos Vallianatos, is a former EPA analyst. Please enjoy and share.
