David F. Smith is Lecturer in the History of Medicine at Aberdeen University, Scotland. H. Lesley Diack is Research Fellow at Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen.
Fascinating, detailed and articulate. [...] A thoroughly researched
and intensive study into a very overlooked episode in British
public health.
*BULLETIN of the HISTORY of MEDICINE (US)*
[A] handsome book...thoroughly researched and carefully written
book helpfully extends our understanding of food policy.
*MEDICAL HISTORY*
Carefully planned, clearly written, and meticulously researched, it
offers an intriguing if unedifying insight into the operations,
considerations, and negotiations extant in the corridors of British
power. [...] Despite the authors' expressed hopes for the new
British Food Standards Agency, their final sobering observation is
of the potential similarities between 1964 and current issues of
trade with China and the risks presented by avian influenza.
*THE JOURNAL OF BRITISH STUDIES*
This well-constructed book is informative and extremely readable;
it is an ideal tool for the undergraduate or postgraduate scholar
studying food history or public health. Strongly recommended.
*RESEARCH CENTRE FOR THE HISTORY OF FOOD & DRINK*
