Chemical Lands by David D Vail
An exploration of the relationship between farmers, aerial sprayers, agriculturalists, crop pests, chemicals, and the environment. David D. Vail's analysis reveals a strong ethic in the North American grasslands where practitioners sought to deploy insecticides by designing local scientific experiments, engineering more precise aircraft sprayers, and developing more narrowly specific chemicals.
In Chemical Lands, David Vail incisively documents the complex relationship between sprayers, pesticides, herbicides, and grassland landscapes in America and CanadaFor the first time, we can appreciate what was happening on the ground and in the sky through this thoughtful analysis of the sprayer's perspective on the toxic chemicals that became intrinsic to American agriculture."" - Frederick Rowe Davis, author of Banned: A History of Pesticides and the Science of Toxicology
David D. Vail is an assistant professor of environmental and agricultural history at the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
