Abstract
This piece is a review of "So Shall You Reap" a textbook which studies how agriculture has evolved from the earliest civilizations to the modern forms of farming in use today, with an eye toward examining how agriculture has evolved, as well as its effects on the environment. The author of this review points out how the book's two authors (both Harvard employees - one a researcher, the other a librarian) seek to prove how the development of society and agriculture are mixed. The author of this review takes the stance that the book is generally well-written, informative, and relevant, believing it to be neither too dry nor too much a pro-environmentalism essay. While the author believes that the book's fairly simple analysis (especially of how older civilizations evolved) may be a bit too simplistic for highly-informed readers, the book is generally a good introduction for those looking for a point of entry on this sorely-neglected subject.

Genetically Modified Foods, 2002.
An analysis of the marketing of genetically modified foods in Canada.
2,900 words (approx. 11.6 pages), 10 sources, $ 106.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This essay will argue that no genetically modified foods should be allowed on the market in Canada at the present time due to concerns about public health, the possibility of wider environmental damage, and problems with corporate influence over the regulatory approval process as it currently exists. Moreover, a normative analysis will demonstrate that from the ethical standpoint of utilitarianism, the government is negligent in adopting a Precautionary Principle in terms of the impact of its regulatory policies upon the Canadian public. This is reinforced with respect to the application of deontological ethical theory that requires action to be taken in terms of its moral value, and in accordance with universal laws.
