Rachel Carson (1907-1964) spent most of her professional life as a marine biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By the late 1950s, she had written three lyrical, popular books about the sea, including the best-selling The Sea Around Us, and had become the most respected science writer in America. She completed Silent Spring against formidable personal odds, and with it shaped a powerful social movement that has altered the course of history.

尽管有法布尔的《昆虫记》这样的书做良师,我还是没有爱上昆虫,事实上,我讨厌几乎一切昆虫,从苍蝇、蚊子到无害的甲虫、蚯蚓,我都巴不得把它们消灭掉。因为在城市里长大的我,害怕它们。每当搬开一块儿红砖,看到下面抱团翻滚的蚯蚓,就差点作呕。洗菜时,遇见一只白虫...
评分有很长一段时期,我们拒绝谦卑。我们人类履至尊而制地球、执敲扑而役自然的决心是如此不可动摇,我们怎么可能谦和、卑从地甘受少数异端的蛊惑,回归到听天由命、膜拜造化的时代。我们的决心来自那份如今依然被部分人标为不容置疑的信念——人乃万物之灵。人类应当平等地对待其...
评分《寂静的春天》描述了农药所带来的一连串连锁反应。它导致地表下和地下海受到污染、土壤贫瘠、生物链断口,最后发生一场无人幸免的天灾。这种惊世骇俗的预言招到了各方的抨击。因为,当时在政策中还没有“环境”这一条款时,她以《寂静的春天》为扩音器,在1962年,大声喊出了...

First published by Houghton Mifflin in 1962, 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. “Silent Spring became a runaway bestseller, with international reverberations . . . [It is] well crafted, fearless and succinct . . . Even if she had not inspired a generation of activists, Carson would prevail as one of the greatest nature writers in American letters” (Peter Matthiessen, for Time’s 100 Most Influential People of the Century).
This fortieth anniversary edition celebrates Rachel Carson’s watershed book with a new introduction by the author and activist Terry Tempest Williams and a new afterword by the acclaimed Rachel Carson biographer Linda Lear, who tells the story of Carson’s courageous defense of her truths in the face of ruthless assault from the chemical industry in the year following the publication of Silent Spring and before her untimely death in 1964.
This is a rigorous presentation of the effects of pesticide use as well as a call to greater awareness of our environment.
