Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 2003. Pp. xv+205. $29.95.

War and Nature: Fighting Humans and Insects with Chemicals from World War I to Silent Spring (review)
Sci-fi fans who recall the 1957 film The Deadly Mantis, in which soldiers trap and gas the movie's star in the Lincoln Tunnel, will readily appreciate the theme of this engaging book.
