• catalog abstract ""In this work, Thomas DeGregori presents many of the revolutionary technological advances in the past century, especially those in agriculture. He then debunks common conventional wisdom that claims these advances are harmful rather than helpful to humanity. For instance, the use of chemicals, including DDT and other pesticides, are often maligned as damaging to the environment and the quality of life. Dr. DeGregori counters this argument with documentation that demonstrates how use of these chemicals has actually increased life span." "Bound to be controversial, Agriculture and Modern Technology will spark debate. Academics, students, those employed in agriculture and related industries and agencies, as well as an informed public will find Dr. DeGregori's alternate views well founded and fascinating."--Jacket.".
