The Last Harvest: The genetic gamble that threatens to destroy American agriculture. By Paul Raeburn. (Bison Books, University of Nebraska Press, 1996) (paperback)

"Raeburn discusses the value of biodiversity to human beings and provides a fascinating account of efforts to preserve old and wild plant species."

--The New Yorker

"The disaster of which The Last Harvest warns is in some ways more compelling than an outbreak of a killer disease...a well-written, accessible book on the sort of seemingly esoteric problem often ignored until it becomes an emergency."
--Gregg Easterbrook, The Washington Monthly
