Overview

"Documents the adverse environmental effects caused by the indiscriminate use of pesticides. Carson accused the chemical industry of spreading disinformation, and public officials of accepting the industry's marketing claims unquestioningly. The book appeared in September 1962 and the outcry that followed its publication forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson’s book was instrumental in launching the environmental movement."--Goodreads. Stated Book-of-the-Month Club: 1962. In Good condition. Dust jacket (contained in protective plastic sleeve) show Mild-to-Moderate wear/rubbing; tears and chipping present at the edges. In otherwise good condition
