An announcement from Steve Talbott, whose thoughtful approach I have always appreciated:
“The University Press of Kentucky has this month released a new book that Nature Institute co-founder Craig Holdrege and I have co-authored:
* Beyond Biotechnology: The Barren Promise of Genetic Engineering*.
The book is part of the new “Culture of the Land” series launched by the Press. Edited by Georgetown College’s Norman Wirzba, the series is under the guidance of Wendell Berry, Wes Jackson, David Orr, Bill McKibben, Vandana Shiva, and others. It “is devoted to the exploration and articulation of a new agrarianism that considers the health of habitats and human communities together”. We were happy to receive the following commendation from bestselling author, Michael Pollan: “Craig Holdrege and Steve Talbott’s analysis of genetic engineering is the smartest, most original, and most compelling I have seen anywhere, in journalism or academia”.
You can check out the book at The University Press of Kentucky
