Bygone Days
This week I want to focus upon an important book that all nature writers should know. Here is information about Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. I’ve included a link to the wikipedia page for this book – it is a place to begin to understand the impact that this book had and continues to have in the world.
Silent Spring is an environmental science book by Rachel Carson.[1] The book was published on September 27, 1962, documenting the adverse environmental effects caused by the indiscriminate use of pesticides.
