About this product

Product Information

Rachel Carson's Silent Spring was first published in three serialized excerpts in the New Yorker in June of 1962. The book appeared in September of that year and the outcry that followed its publication forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson's passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world, and her eloquent book was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. It is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century.

  • Silent Spring by Edward O. (AFT) Wilson (2002)

    The book was a required reading for my advanced placement biology class. The reading started out great... for about the first chapter. After that... the author rambled on about the same thing throughout the entire book. She could have stopped after chapter one and made the same point. Sorry for anyone else who is required to read it. Buy the way... I have a fairly new copy for sale. CHEAP!
