Krátky popis
Now recognized as one of the most influential books of the
twentieth century, Silent Spring exposed the destruction of
wildlife through the widespread use of pesticides Rachel Carson's
Silent Spring alerted a large audience to the environmental and
human dangers of pesticides, spurring revolutionary changes in the
laws affecting our air, land, and water. Despite condemnation in
the press and heavy-handed attempts by the chemical industry to ban
the book, Carson succeeded in creating a new public awareness of
the environment which led to changes in government and inspired the
ecological movement. It is thanks to this book, and the help of
many environmentalists, that harmful pesticides such as DDT were
banned from use in the US and countries around the world.This
Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Lord
Shackleton, a preface by World Wildlife Fund founder Julian Huxley,
and an afterword by Carson's biographer Linda Lear.
