Product Description: This book spans four centuries of weed history from sixteenth-century England to mid-twentieth century Canada. It features Evans looks at topics such as weed biology/ecology, environmental history, herbicide development, noxious weed legislation, & the emergence of weed science as a distinct field of scientific inquiry. It provides an in-depth chronicle of the war on weeds that raged in Western Canada between 1800 & 1950 & the evolution of the relationship between humans & weeds. It also provides an environmental history of weeds that covers the events in Upper Canada, the Prairies, & Northern United States. It gives a brief history of herbicides & their widespread acceptance by prairie farmers in the middle of the 1900s. Evans draws on extensive primary sources & considers the delicate connection between human culture & the natural world. This book is particularly timely because of debates on the use of pesticides & herbicide resistance crops, such as canola. It fills a need for a detailed survey of agricultural development & settlement on the Prairies. In this provocative book, Evans suggests that herbicides have simply prolonged the war on weeds, & that by breeding herbicide resistance into crops, agrochemical companies are attempting to secure long-term herbicide & genetically-modified seed sales by forcing farmers to continue to fight a war that can never be won.
