520    "A deeply researched and eye-opening history that shows 
       how Monsanto came to have outsized influence over our food
       system. This is the definitive history of Monsanto, a St. 
       Louis chemical firm that became the world's largest 
       genetically engineered seed enterprise. Monsanto merged 
       with German pharma-biotech giant Bayer in 2018, but its 
       Roundup Ready seeds, introduced twenty-five years ago, are
       still reshaping the farms that feed us. Incorporating 
       global fieldwork, interviews with company employees, and 
       untapped corporate and government records, award-winning 
       historian Bartow J. Elmore traces Monsanto's astounding 
       evolution from a scrappy chemical startup to a global 
       agrobusiness powerhouse. Capitalizing on deals with 
       customers like Coca-Cola, General Electric, and especially
       the US government, Monsanto used seed money derived from 
       toxic products-including PCBs and Agent Orange-to build an
       agricultural empire, promising endless bounty through its 
       genetically engineered technology. As new data emerges 
       about its blockbuster Roundup system, and as Bayer faces a
       tide of lawsuits over Monsanto products past and present, 
       Elmore's urgent history takes a penetrating look at the 
       company's past"--|cProvided by publisher.
