Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
There has been so much already said about this classic book. Just happy I finally made the time to read it. I've had it lying around for many, many years. It took an audiobook for me to actually read it.
Although the book is decades old, creeping close to sixty years since publication, it is still relevant today. I know changes were made after the publication, but are we back into the same boat, just with other chemicals and pesticides? I'm not sure. More reading to be done!
Thanks Rachel Carson for changing the world!
book reviews, mostly.
books pulled from the shelves and new ones flying through the door. Enjoy!
