A must read Jan 20, 2012
by Earthtrek
This book is a must read for anyone who cares about humanity and the environment we inhabit. Ms. Carlson skillfully explains how species, including humanity, don't live in a microcosm, but are instead enmeshed - on a global scale - with every other living species. She clearly demonstrates the folly of believing that we as humans are somehow separate and distinct from the rest of creation. Although "Silent Spring" was written over 50 years ago, it's message is as powerful today as it was when it was written.

Wonderful book. I will be using this book in my environmental sociology class in the fall.
Rachel Carson's courage in writing this book in the face of such powerful and greedy people amazes me!Customer rating:
