A book was recently released on the history of the organic movement. This
might be of interest to some list members:

"The Origins of the Organic Movement"
by Philip Conford, Jonathan Dimbleby
Paperback - 280 pages (September 2001)
Floris Books; ISBN: 0863153364

There's a short editorial review in the amazon.com listing, and some of
the comments there might be surprising:

Please note that I only learned of this book yesterday - I have not seen it,
and am posting the amazon URL *only* for informational purposes (and not
for sale or advertisement purposes).
