ALTERED GENES,
TWISTED TRUTH

THE INVENTION OF NATURE
BY ANDREA WULF

BY STEVEN DRUKER

This book uncovers the biggest
scientific fraud of our age. It tells
the fascinating and frequently
astounding story of how the massive
enterprise to restructure the genetic
core of the world’s food supply came
into being. It reveals how it advanced
by consistently violating the protocols
of science, and how, for more than
three decades, hundreds of eminent
biologists and esteemed institutions
have systematically distorted the truth
in order to conceal the unique risks
of its products–while also getting
them onto our dinner plates.

THE UNHEALTHY TRUTH
BY ROBYN O’BRIEN

Robyn O’Brien is not the most likely candidate
for an anti-establishment crusade. A Houston
native from a conservative family, this MBA
and married mother of four was not someone
who gave much thought to misguided
government agencies and chemicals in
our food—until the day her youngest daughter
had a violent allergic reaction to eggs. Then
everything changed. The Unhealthy Truth
is the story of how one brave woman chose
to take on the system. It’s also a call to action
showing how we all can do our part and keep
our own families safe.

The acclaimed author of Founding
Gardeners reveals the forgotten life
of Alexander von Humboldt, the
visionary German naturalist whose
ideas changed the way we see the
natural world—and, in the process,
created modern environmentalism.
With this brilliantly researched and
compellingly written book, Andrea Wulf
shows the myriad fundamental ways
in which Humboldt created
our understanding of the natural
world, and champions a renewed
interest in this vital and lost player
in environmental history and science.
