Reviews
Seed Money illustrates the danger of placing profit over people and how not protecting our environment from dangerous chemicals threatens the health and welfare of all of us., If you want to know just how Monsanto became so reviled by the sustainable food movement, this gripping tale of greed and corporate power tells all.--Mark Bittman, author of Animal, Vegetable, Junk A timely, powerful, and totally engrossing book. Through stories of farmers, chemists, entrepreneurs, workers, patients, lawyers, and judges, Elmore recounts a devastating history of how chemicals have seeped into almost every cranny of the national and global food supply. We will not fix our health until we fix our food; fixing our food, as this book makes clear, is a tale of politics and power.--Anne-Marie Slaughter, CEO, New America Seed Money illustrates the danger of placing profit over people and how not protecting our environment from dangerous chemicals threatens the health and welfare of all of us.--Catherine Colman Flowers, founder, Center for Rural Enterprise and Environmental Justice I expect this will become the book on Monsanto.--Edmund Russell, President, American Society for Environmental History A book of immediate relevance and enduring significance. Elmore's powerful narrative uncovers evidence long hidden in corporate vaults, reveals the global consequences of decisions made in distant laboratories and boardrooms, and finds connections among science, agriculture, technology, politics, and business never seen before. This is history that matters.--Edward L. Ayers, recipient of the National Humanities Medal A fast-paced and vivid account of the global threats to food production and public health from the agrochemical industry's widely marketed herbicides--a must read for all who wish to better understand the workings of 'scavenger capitalism.'--Ellen Griffith Spears, author of Baptized in PCBs: Race, Pollution, and Justice in an All-American Town, A fast-paced and vivid account of the global threats to food production and public health from the agrochemical industry's widely marketed herbicides--a must read for all who wish to better understand the workings of 'scavenger capitalism.', Elmore's substantial research and outstanding attention to detail makes this investigation of the Monsanto chemical and agribusiness corporation riveting from start to finish....Combining elements of the film Erin Brockovich, Robert Bilott's Exposure, and Patrick Radden O'Keefe's exposé of the Sackler family, Empire of Pain, Seed Money is a galvanizing achievement that will leave readers deeply impressed, impassioned, and infuriated., A timely, powerful, and totally engrossing book. Through stories of farmers, chemists, entrepreneurs, workers, patients, lawyers, and judges, Elmore recounts a devastating history of how chemicals have seeped into almost every cranny of the national and global food supply. We will not fix our health until we fix our food; fixing our food, as this book makes clear, is a tale of politics and power., Comprehensive and thought-provoking, this is an essential history for understanding the impact of a major player in modern agribusiness., [M]agisterial...Throughout Seed Money, we learn about the owners and leaders of Monsanto who were oblivious and dismissive of the cost to their own workers...[and] the business strategies and tactics that would transform farming and farm communities from the heartland of America to the cerrado of Brazil [and] to Vietnam....This is an amazing work of environmental history., A book of immediate relevance and enduring significance. Elmore's powerful narrative uncovers evidence long hidden in corporate vaults, reveals the global consequences of decisions made in distant laboratories and boardrooms, and finds connections among science, agriculture, technology, politics, and business never seen before. This is history that matters., If you want to know just how Monsanto became so reviled by the sustainable food movement, this gripping tale of greed and corporate power tells all.

Beyond great price. The media itself (CDs) were in NM (near mint) condition. Packaging was in fair condition, so stating Good in the description was reasonable if not downplaying the media itself. Nothing to complain about. Shipping was free and arrived exactly a week later (5 business days). Would definitely recommend and do business with seller again! A++

SecondSalecom is one of my go to sellers, because they have a large selection and I can usually find the book or movie that I want from them at a low price if not the lowest price on eBay. Also, when I buy three books/movies I get a fourth book/movie free. Shipping is also free. This was a great transaction. The DVD was packaged well, shipped promptly and is just as described. I will be back to buy again. Thank you!!
