London: Greenpeace. pp92. After Greenpeace volunteers were arrested in 1999 for their part in the removal of a crop of GM maize, their defense argued that they had a lawful excuse for doing so; statements were bsubmitted b scientists to demonstrate that the risks of GM contamination were reasonable. The scientific case was never challenged. Accordingly the defendents claim that to define the debate on GM as science v. emotion is to miscast it, rather the issue is the government's willingness to take risks with the environment..

Numerous gorgeous illustrations." 'The poem is overwhelming..brilliant, cunning,dramatic and wonderfully moving, a steady accumulation of bgrandeur and dradfulness - and never any sense of exploiting the subject for poetic or literary effects, just a measured unfolding of real things from the heart of the subject" So Ted Hughes writes of Heathcote Williams celebration of the most mysterious, gifted and intelligent creature to inhabit the high seas. This astonishing evocation in verse and pictures, and in a remarkable anthlogy of prose writings from the worlds of science and literature, encompasses the whole being of the Leviathan: its ancient origins, its biology and mating, its songs and play, its capacity to communicate cogently across vast distances, its healing powers, and its depredation at the hands of mankind.'
