About this product

Product Information

Rachel Carson's Silent Spring alerted a large audience to the environmental and human dangers of indiscriminate use of pesticides, spurring revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Lord Shackleton, a preface by World Wildlife Fund founder Julian Huxley, and an afterword by Carson's biographer Linda Lear. Now recognized as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century, Silent Spring exposed the destruction of wildlife through the widespread use of pesticides. Despite condemnation in the press and heavy-handed attempts by the chemical industry to ban the book, Rachel Carson succeeded in creating a new public awareness of the environment which led to changes in government and inspired the ecological movement. It is thanks to this book, and the help of many environmentalists, that harmful pesticides such as DDT were banned from use in the US and countries around the world. If you enjoyed Silent Spring, you might like John Christopher's The Death of Grass, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

    Essential Reading!

    Although written in the 60’s, the content is even more relevant today. The book is easy to read even though it gives lots of scientific data and chemical property information. The worry is, that even though the concern expressed about widespread pollution in all its forms was clearly expressed in the book, nothing much has been done to reduce it. We are rapidly getting to the point of no return. Scary reading!

    A hugely important read

    Even 70 years on this remains hugely prescient and a really important read. The Penguin Modern Classics edition includes thoughtful introductions which illuminate the context and the continuing relevance.

    Essential Reading.

    The book everyone should read if you want to see where we’ve come from and think about the cancer causing weed killers that are currently used in our cities.

    Silent Spring

    This book I believe started the environmental movement by highlighting the abuse of the environment with chemicals used indescriminately. It is therefore a very important work.
