The field of pest control research, of increasing importance in a
world short of food, has been plagued for many years by a variety
of problems, among them (1) the instability (including pesticide
resistance) of many control techniques, (2) the continuing need for
improved pest management methods to increase world food supplies,
and (3) the environmental and social hazards of currently used
pesticides. What historical or other factors affect the ability of
science to generate useful new technologies to alleviate these
three major problems? Are there barriers to cooperation among the
different pest control specialists? This book attempts to answer
these questions, examining past events and projecting likely
impacts on contemporary pest management systems. The
authors--sociologists, economists, lawyers, ecologists, political
scientists, and pest control scientists--examine the social,
economic, political, and ethical factors that are important in
shaping pest management systems, as well as developmental patterns
that show the importance of these factors in shaping today's
systems.
