Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

Carson opens with a fable: a town where the birds have stopped singing. Then she spends the rest of the book explaining, chapter by careful chapter, exactly how DDT and the other post-war pesticides move through soil, water and the bodies of everything that eats.

She was a marine biologist writing while dying of cancer, and the chemical industry spent a fortune trying to discredit her. The book led to a presidential commission, the banning of DDT, and eventually the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. It is also, unexpectedly, beautifully written.

One of the most consequential books of the twentieth century, and the founding text of modern environmentalism.
