Silent Spring description
Silent Spring, released in 1962, offered the first shattering look at widespread ecological degradation and touched off an environmental awareness that still exists. Rachel Carson's book focused on the poisons from insecticides, weed killers, and other common products as well as the use of sprays in agriculture, a practice that led to dangerous chemicals to the food source.

Presented with thorough documentation, the book opened more than a few eyes about the dangers of the modern world and stands today as a landmark work. |
