Product Description

Synopsis
From highly respected and best-seller author of Super Tips -- All you need to know about Genetically Engineered food Moyra Bremner is a journalist and author of the much acclaimed and best-selling SuperTips books. This book will be an instant publication -- B format paperback and aimed at the mass market. It will uncover the truth about genetically modified food and reveal everything that governments are trying to cover up. It will not blind people with science but will be authoritative and well-researched -- if written from the clear position that tampering with the biosphere is bad. Clearly, this is a controversial and hot news story at the moment but I think that the combination of genuine revulsion and fear that we know not what we eat, plus the environmental consquences of these chemicals and the public sense of a conspiracy afoot between government and big business combine to make this a winning formula. There will more to this book than dodgy tomatoes and curious carrots and Moyra will look into the very serious consequences that these chemicals can play on the biodiversity of the planet -- particularly in the third world.

There is no other book like this available at the moment and a great deal of disquiet and scare stories floating around.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only read one book on genetic engineering, read this, 21 Mar 2000
By cs@csams.demon.co.uk (London England) - See all my reviews
The complexity of genetic engineering is further muddied by the fact that powerful interest groups bend the truth in order to prove their case. Moyra Bremner clearly explains the issues and by the time you've finished reading her book, you have a confident understanding of the issues and of what is at stake. The real risks of biotechnology are exposed, as well as the huge pressure on Governments to force through this technology. If you only read one book on genetic engineering, this is the one you should read - I have found it an invaluable reference and go back to it time and time again, not to mention quoting from it regularly.
