The plentiful wildlife, so abundant just weeks before, was gone. Everything was still, silent. As an environmental scientist trained to investigate disease outbreaks, she rose to the challenge. Step by step, day by day, despite facing headwinds from skeptical neighbors, environmental experts, and agricultural consultants, she assembled information. Her observations provided a framework, a timeline to explain the evidence she'd collected. The chemicals found in her water samples showed beyond any doubt that not only her farm but her greater farming community was at risk from toxic chemicals that traveled with rainwater over the land, into water, and deep within the soil. Hilborn was given a front row seat to the insect apocalypse. Even as a scientist, she'd been unaware of the risks to life from some common agricultural chemicals. Her goal was to protect her farm and the animals who lived there. But first she had to convince her rural neighbors of the risk to their way of life, too"--Back cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 333.72097 Hi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.72097 Hilborn Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books 333.72097 Hi Checked out 04/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.72097 Hi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 333.72097 Hi Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 333.72097 Hi In Cataloging   Add Copy to MyList
