Omschrijving

Rarely does a single book alter the course of history, but Rachel Carson's Silent Spring did exactly that. The outcry that followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred the 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 on the dangers of widespread pesticide use was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. It is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century.

This foundational work of environmental science and conservation revealed the dark side of progress and its effects on the natural world:

A Landmark Environmental Classic: Discover the eloquent, meticulously researched book that awakened public consciousness and single-handedly launched the modern environmental movement.
The Science of Ecology: A stunning and poetic examination of the intricate web of life, showing how harm to one part of the ecosystem reverberates through the whole, from insects to birds to humans.
A Powerful Call for Conservation: More than just a scientific study, this is a passionate call to action that challenges the idea of "controlling nature" and demands a new respect for the planet we share.
The Dangers of DDT: Carson exposes how the indiscriminate spraying of pesticides like DDT contaminates our soil, water, and food, creating a chain of poisoning and death.
