silent spring
Silent Spring is a book by Rachel Carson about all the bad things that pesticides have done to the environment. It discusses how people have neglected to care about the environment sufficiently and the problems with the chemical industry. The book goes into detail about the relationship between the soil and the chemicals and relates it to the affect chemicals have on animals. The author provides ways to change and how to be smart about these problems.
Rachel Carson was a writer, scientist, and ecologist. She graduated from Pennsylvania College for Women and was hired by the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries to write scripts and eventually ended up pursuing independent writing projects. She was an incredible woman!
