What's POP-Sci?<BR/><BR/>Did you ever hear this quote??<BR/><BR/>Albert Einstein speculated that "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe, then man would only have four years of life left."<BR/><BR/>Scary, huh?

Based on this post, I am sure you'd like it. <BR/><BR/>It's not a "quick read"... as there are plenty of chemical names and such but it is so worth wading through the chemical names!!<BR/><BR/>There are some references to "Silent Spring" on my blog in previous posts. <BR/><BR/>I cannot say enough about this book. When I finish it, I plan to read "Our Stolen Future" by Theo Colburn, Dianne Dumanoski, and John Peterson Myers.<BR/><BR/>There are some quotes on my blog from this book as well.<BR/><BR/>This is a great post!!! :)<BR/><BR/>JeanneJeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454649048120118507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738595528686236041.post-71938532142758768302008-12-09T13:02:00.000-04:002008-12-09T13:02:00.000-04:00@ Cheryl...
