"Se avete visto una confezione con scritto "SENZA OGM" al supermercato e vi siete chiesti che cosa significhi effettivamente, leggete questo libro…" (Dan Charles, National Public Radio). "Gli OGM rimangono l'innovazione agricola più contestata. In questo libro indispensabile, John Lang esamina il tema dal punto di vista etico, legale e culturale. Lo raccomando a tutti coloro che pensano che non ci sia più da discutere." (John Coupland, Pennsylvania State University).
Born in Australia in 1816, John Lang - novelist, newspaper editor and barrister, now best known for having defended the Rani of Jhansi in court against the British East India Company - spent a large part of his ife in India, and died in Mussoorie in 1864. A keen traveller and observer of human nature, Lang was also a raconteur par excellence.
His grave was found after much tribulations in the cemetry on Camelsback Road in Mussoorie by none other than the ace writer Ruskin Bond himself.
