Local author and organic farmer Will Allen at Bear Pond Books May 6, 2008

In The War on Bugs, Will Allen exposes the smoking guns of chemical companies’ marketing campaigns that have pushed toxic pesticides and fertilizers on America’s--and the world’s--farmers for over 150 years. The book is illustrated with two centuries’ worth of advertisements-including enormously influential ads drawn by Theodor Geisel (Dr. Seuss. Allen simultaneously documents the waves of resistance by farmers, consumers and activists. Come and join the timely discussion--you may change your way of eating.
