A Bitter Harvest Ron Wooten-Green Ph D

Hospice Chaplain & Political Scientist, Ron Wooten-Green humanizes the cancer death-toll caused by the rampant use of pesticides on crops, lawns, gardens, and golf courses across the globe. This book takes the reader from the U. S. Midwest to the Southeast to the West to Canada to India, Malaysia, Ecuador and elsewhere with personal accounts of women's lives, hopes & dreams prematurely destroyed by government & corporate collusion. While the stories of Donna Jo, Sandra, JoAn, Susan, Shelley, and Helen highlight the devastation visited upon individuals, families, and communities, A Bitter Harvest: Pesticides and Cancer-Avoidable Human Suffering offers strategies, models and approaches to ending the sinister victimization wrought by the chemical industry, often with the unwitting cooperation of us all. The author brings into the open the voices of Rachel Carson and many modern-day prophets & whistle-blowers positioning themselves between the power of profiteering and sustainable living. This is a book speaking truth to power.
