<b>The classic that launched the environmental movement</b> <p/> Rarely does a single book alter the course of history, but Rachel Carson's <i>Silent Spring</i> did exactly that. The outrcrythat followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred the revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson's passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world, and her eloquent book was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. This is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century. <p/> The introduction, by the acclaimed biographer Linda Lear, tells the story of Carson's courageous defense of her truths in the face of a ruthless assault form the chemical industry following the publication of <i>Silent Spring</i> and before her untimely death. <p/>
