"This concise, accessible introduction to understanding agricultural chemicals and
public health combines a broad synthesis on a global scale with rich ethnographic
narratives on a human scale. Drawing on epidemiology, policy analysis, and social
science research on the global commodity chain, the authors describe the system of
global agrochemical dependence that constitutes a major threat to human health. Then
they draw readers into the lush mountainsides of highland Guatemala, telling personal
stories of farmers, their experiences with public health programs, their struggles
against agrichemical dependence, and their innovations in sustainable agriculture.
Finally, they show how this kind of qualitative, multi-level analysis holds practical
lessons for public health. This engaging, brief text is an ideal supplement for courses
in global health, introducing students to key concepts with broad coverage and engrossing
ethnographic detail"
