In \u003ci\u003eDDT and the American Century\u003c\/i\u003e, David Kinkela chronicles the use of DDT around the world from 1941 to the present with a particular focus on the United States, which has played a critical role in encouraging the global use of the pesticide. Kinkela's study offers a unique approach to understanding both this contentious chemical and modern environmentalism in an international context. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Kinkela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469609770\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469609775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"David Kinkela","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985666146559,"sku":"9781469609775","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d0ffa8c1-9015-4e27-a066-cabd2716ca31.jpg?v=1683278852","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ddt-and-the-american-century-david-kinkela-9781469609775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
