Trade Paperback. Condizione: Fine. 1st Printing. First printing. An excellent copy. 1998 Trade Paperback. 171 pp. "A scientist before he was a beekeeper, Mark L. Winston found in his new hobby a paradigm for understanding the role science should play in society. In essays originally appearing as columns in Bee Culture, the leading professional journal, Winston uses beekeeping as a starting point to discuss broader issues, such as how agriculture functions under increasingly complex social and environmental restraints, how scientists grapple with issues of accountability, and how people struggle to maintain contact with the natural world. Winston's reflections on bees, beekeeping, and science cover a period of tumultuous change in North America, a time when new parasites, reduced research funding, and changing economic conditions have disrupted the livelihoods of bee farmers. 'Managed honeybees in the city provide a major public service by pollinating gardens, fruit trees, and berry bushes, and should be encouraged rather than legislated out of existence. Our cities, groomed and cosmopolitan as they appear, still obey the basic rules of nature, and our gardens and yards are no exception. Homegrown squashes, apple trees, raspberries, peas, beans, and other garden crops require bees to move the pollen from one flower to another, no matter how urbanized or sophisticated the neighborhood.'"

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This wonderful, accessible book takes beekeeping as a starting point for talking about everything under the sun. An American, Winston is a professor of biological sciences at a Canadian university. A scientist first, he became a beekeeper and writer. We are richer for his attempt to bring these diverse worlds together and into sharp focus. Using his own experiences and drawing on a wide range of ideas and examples from popular culture, Winston tells us a great deal about bees, but also about life, how people try to keep contact with nature, the problems of modern agriculture, the accountability of scientists. The 31 essays can be read in order or are equally delightful to dip into. (Kirkus UK).…
