"Genetically Engineered Organisms: Assessing Environmental and Human Health Effects" ed. by D. K. Letourneau, B. E. Burrows

Written by researchers who have done cutting edge research in disciplines such as botany, entomology, plant pathology, and other agricultural and environmental sciences, this book elaborates critical research on pollen movement, spread of transgenes in natural communities, fitness effects, resistance development, and unpredicted impacts on target and non-target organisms.
