Silent Spring
|
by Rachel Carson
Rachel Carson wrote Silent Spring, not because she wanted to but because she felt she had to. As a keen observer of nature, she realized that birds and plants and water were all being innocently attacked by the escalating use of chemical pesticides.
When Silent Spring was published in the early 60's, it caused an uproar and was challenged by 'big business' who tried to discredit her science. However, her science was not only upheld by a Congressional Inquiry established by President Kennedy, it also became the reason the government established the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States.
Silent Spring is full of scientific data but is still very readable and compelling. Her core invitation - to ask all of us to consider the consequences of our actions on nature - is as relevant today as it was well over 40 years ago!
