Silent Spring

Rachel Carson

Silent Spring examines what happens when modern societies use persistent chemicals to control pests without accounting for ecological interdependence. It asks whether short-term control justifies risks to water, soil, wildlife, human health, and future generations, and points toward selective, biological, and ecologically informed alternatives.
