is an eye-opener for how chemistry and chemicals are involved in our lives. It shows readers how chemical function in industry, pharmaceuticals, genetics and research -- in war and in peace. The objective behind the warning is to increase awareness that we are using, eating, riding, flying and sleeping with the aid of chemicals. And when we know how chemicals work, we become better able to use them.
Wartime use of chemicals is not a thing of recent history. Past civilizations used it too, to kill and conquer their enemies. If deadly chemicals fall into the wrong hands or are used by the wrong people or countries, them major catastrophes may occur. Realizing that chemicals are everywhere, we begin the campaign for organic food and organic cloth -- getting back to nature and natural things.
Chemicals are what make us, and chemicals are what will break us if we are not careful.
