One of the twenty books in the Green Ideas series.
I enjoyed reading this book dense with facts about pesticides and its effects on the environment and people. It is tough and heartbreaking to read this, especially knowing that it was originally published in the 19060s. The beginning and end of this short book read well, however the middle was more like a technical text, which felt slightly too much like an excerpt.
I still believe this is a good start to expanding one's knowledge on chemicals being used in the environment.
3.5 rounded up to 4.
Thank you Netgalley and Penguin Press UK for my e-ARC.
