How The Government Got in Your Backyard: Superweeds, Frankenfoods, Lawn Wars, and the (Nonp

by Jeff Gillman Narrated by Wes Bleed

Overview

How the Government Got in Your Backyard distills the science, the politics, and the unbiased, nonpartisan truth behind hot-button environmental issues from pesticides to global warming. By clearly representing what the left says, what the right says, what the science is, and what the facts are, Gillman and Heberlig don't set out to provide the answer - they light the path so concerned citizens can uncover their own true and informed opinion. In this season of political discontent, the unbiased truth about environmental policies - free of political agendas - is as refreshing as it is fascinating. How the Government Got in Your Backyard is not for Republicans or Democrats, liberals or conservatives. It's for anyone who is ready to get to the bottom line.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Illuminates environmental confusion on a national scale and offers help in making the far-ranging debate easier to understand." - Booklist

"...thought-provoking...[Wes Bleed] has a pleasant, clear tone..." - AudioFile

MAY 2011 - AudioFile

This book is touted as an unbiased look at the science behind environmental issues that affect both our homes and the planet. The authors do an effective job of laying out their facts and letting listeners make decisions based on their information. Wes Bleed delivers the material as a broadcast journalist would, and that’s no surprise given his background as a news anchor and reporter. He has a pleasant, clear tone, and he reads as if he truly wants listeners to understand the facts and nuances behind the authors’ arguments. It would help if Bleed varied his approach more because his cadence becomes too familiar after a while. More variation would make the information in this thought-provoking book stay fresh for longer periods of time. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
