Other Publications Genetic Roulette The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods Hardcover; 336 pages Author: Jeffrey M. Smith Publisher: Yes! Books Price: $27.95 ISBN-13: 978-0972966528 www.geneticroulette.com The biotech industry’s claim that genetically modified (GM) foods are safe is shattered in this groundbreaking book. Nearly 65 health risks of the foods that Americans eat every day are presented in easy-to-read two-page spreads. The left page is designed for the quick scanning reader; it includes bullets, illustrations, and quotes. The right side offers fully referenced text, describing both research studies and theoretical risks. The second half of Genetic Roulette shows how safety assessments on GM crops are not competent to identify the health problems presented in the first half. This book, prepared in collaboration with a team of international scientists, is for anyone wanting to understand GM technology, to learn how to protect themselves, or to share their concerns with others. It is presented in the clear, accessible style that made Jeffrey Smith’s Seeds of Deception the world’s best-selling book on genetically engineered food. Keepers of Genes Keepers of Genes The interdependence between pastoralists, breeds, access to the commons, and livelihoods Ilse Köhler-Rollefson and the LIFE Network LIFE Network Keepers of Genes - The interdependence between pastoralists, breeds, access to the commons, and livelihoods E-Book; 80 pages Author: Ilse Köhler-Rollefson and the LIFE Network Publisher: New Block Tone, Jodhpur Price: Free Download - http://www.pastoralpeoples.org/docs/ keepersofgenes_web.pdf ISBN: 81-901624-2x This book by Ilse Köhler-Rollefson and the LIFE Network focuses on a key threat to the survival of pastoralists and their livestock breeds: the loss of access to grazing and water. Pastoralists are losing their traditional pasturelands for many reasons - new restrictions on grazing in nature reserves, the expansion of irrigated agriculture, expropriation by settled villagers, and the elimination of fallow land because of intensified cropping. Less grazing land means that pastoralists cannot maintain a herd large enough to be economic. Many are forced to give up livestock production altogether. That does not just mean the loss of livelihoods for the pastoralists themselves. It also means settled villagers can no longer rely on the hardy stock from pastoralists to pull their ploughs and provide them with meat and milk. And it spells doom for many valuable livestock breeds and the gene pool they represent.
