โRachel Carson is a pivotal figure of the twentieth centuryโฆpeople who thought one way before her essential 1962 book Silent Spring thought another way after it.โโMargaret Atwood
Rarely does a single book alter the course of history, but Rachel Carsonโs Silent Spring did exactly that. The outcry that followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carsonโs passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world. As Carson reminds us, "In nature, nothing exists alone.โย
The introduction by the acclaimed biographer Linda Lear, author of Rachel Carson: Witness for Nature, tells the story of Carsonโs courageous defense of her truths in the face of a ruthless assault form the chemical industry following the publication of Silent Spring and before her untimely death.
โWonder and humility are just some of the gifts of Silent Spring. They remind us that we, like all other living creatures, are part of the vast ecosystems of the earth of the earthโฆthis is a book to relish: not for the dark side of human nature, but for the promise of lifeโs possibility.โ โfrom the Introduction

Rachel Carson (1907โ1964) spent most of her professional life as a marine biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By the late 1950s, she had written three lyrical, popular books about the sea, including the best-selling The Sea Around Us, and had become the most respected science writer in America. She completed Silent Spring against formidable personal odds, and with it shaped a powerful social movement that has altered the course of history.
