This special 40th anniversary edition of marine biologist Rachel Carson's landmark study of the misuse of pesticides is as timely today as when it was first published in 1962. Silent Spring sounded the alarm over the human and environmental dangers of indiscriminate pesticide use and proved what a difference one individual can make. In language everyone could understand, this book began an environmental revolution that has altered our laws and attitudes about air, land and water. Features an introduction by Carson biographer Linda Lear and an afterword by Pulitzer Prize winner Edward O. Wilson.
