First published in 1962, Silent Spring can single-handedly be credited with sounding the alarm and raising awareness of humankind's collective impact on its own future through chemical pollution. No other book has so strongly influenced the environmental conscience of Americans and the world at large.

Critic reviews

"Silent Spring came as a cry in the wilderness, a deeply felt, thoroughly researched, and brilliantly written argument that changed the course of history." (Al Gore)

Terrifyingly well researched and portrayed. Perfect diction. Optimistic summary when we can allow nature to restore balance ….
“Let us permit nature to have her way. She understands her business better than we do.”
Michel de Montaigne

Timely warning….

Of course things have changed in that many chemicals are controlled but we still see the indiscriminate use of poisons and the finacially driven adoption of others. Read this and see how we have still not learned enough.

50 years and still learning

A valuable read/listen for changing our perception of our part in the world, connection with nature, and the toxic impact of so many of our choices (and how they are coming back to make us ill and shorten our lives). Highly recommended.

A must read/listen still massively relevant to today
