Evaggelos Vallianatos, Ph.D., is a former EPA analyst. He is the author of
hundreds of articles and several books, including “Poison Spring: The
Secret History of Pollution and the EPA” (with McKay Jenkins, Bloomsbury
Press, 2014).
Synopsis: The modern controversy over Roundup (glyphosate) and the
documentation of its effects on humans, animals and soils, has much in
common with that over DDT fifty years ago. In particular, it recapitulates
attempts to sideline critics and the ongoing delusion of control of the
natural world that informs modern agricultural practices.

The author, Evaggelos Vallianatos, is a former EPA analyst.

Please enjoy and share.

Yours sincerely

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and
opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those
who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible
government which is the true ruling power of our country.”—Edward Bernays,
