Synopsis
In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental movement. With the precision of a scientist and the simplicity of a fable, Rachel Carson reveals how man-made pesticides have destroyed wildlife, creating a world of polluted streams and silent songbirds. Over the past 75 years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.
My Review
Wow, this book was certainly very shocking. If you want to learn about the issues with pesticides you must read this book. I thought I knew quite a bit about them but this book really opened my eyes. There were lots of case studies/examples of just how deadly they were. Even from the tiniest drop landing on your skin. It was amazing how they even allowed them. The author looked at how these pesticides were banned across the world but not in America. I was engrossed and loved every second. I learnt so much from reading it and definitely recommend reading it.
Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for bringing us this shocking book. I will certainly be looking out for more books by this fantastic author.
