Should we be concerned? Biotech companies claim that engineered corn and canola are safe, but are they telling the truth? Should we, like the Europeans, be engaging in violent protests against biotechnology? In <i>High Tech Harvest</i>, Paul Lurquin answers these questions and more, believing that the public has a right to know and understand how its food is manipulated at the most basic level, that of the DNA itself. With the goal to inform, and a mission to reinforce the importance of the scientific method, Paul Lurquin writes a comprehensive and user-friendly description of the scientific origins, the development, and the applications of genetically modified plants throughout the world today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An interesting and remarkably even-handed history of the development of GM technology."<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Dr. Paul Lurquin, Ph.D.</b> is Professor of Genetics at the School of Molecular Biosciences, Washington State University.
