After Morgentaler: The Politics of Abortion in Canada by Rachael
Johnstone
“The landmark decision R. v. Morgentaler (1988) struck down Canada’s
abortion law and is widely believed to have established a right to abortion,
but its actual impact is much less decisive. In After Morgentaler, Rachael
Johnstone examines the state of abortion access in Canada today and argues that
substantive access is essential to full citizenship for women. Using case
studies, Johnstone assesses the role of both state and non-state actors in
shaping access. This book affirms the need to recognize abortion as an issue
fundamentally tied to women’s equality, while stressing the utility of rights
claims to improve access.” –Amazon

Fagan
“It is often claimed that the case against genetically modified (GM)
crops and foods is based on emotion, not science, and that to oppose GM crop
and food technology is to be anti-science. It is also claimed that GM crops
offer higher yields and better nutrition, that they are safe for health and the
environment, that they reduce agrochemical use, and that they are needed to
feed the world's growing population. This book, co-authored by two genetic
engineers and a writer/researcher, exposes these claims as false, using scientific
and other documented evidence.” –WorldCat
