Silent spring at 50

Widely credited with launching the modern environmental movement when published 50 years ago, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring had a profound impact on our society. As an iconic work, the book has often been shielded from critical inquiry. This book explores Silent Spring's historical context, the science it was built on, and the policy consequences of its core ideas. It concludes that despite her reputation as a careful writer widely praised for building her arguments on science and facts, Carson's best-seller contained significant errors and sins of omission.--From book jacket.
