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. Download [MOBI]: http://sh.st/pPL7W
