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.
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.

评分本来还觉得只读了四分之一就标看过有点不好意思 转念一想 其实只要看完课文就可以标看过了 于是毫不迟疑 其实如果不是课文应该得分更高的 看在这本书当时掀起如此轩然大波拥有五花八门的封面的份上
评分我要是有机会就把它读给小学生听 问题是这本书也就适合给小学生以及以下的人看
评分这本书援引了大量的科学原理和数据,但可以感受到作者字里行间表达的悲痛、讽刺和希望。可以想见当时写下并发表这本书需要多大的勇气、决心和智慧。所幸words can make a difference。“Our aim should be to guide natural processes as cautiously as possible in the desired direction rather than to use brute force... Life is a miracle beyond our comprehension, and we should reverence it even where we have to struggle against it.”
评分meh.
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《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...
评分《寂静的春天》犹如旷野中的一声呐喊,用它深切的感受、全面的研究和雄辩的论点改变了历史的进程。它作为思想的力量比政治家的力量更强大提供了无可辩驳的证据。 ——美国前副总统阿尔•戈尔 在这个工业化高度发达的时代,...
评分不知别人的感觉如何,我读了这本书之后的感觉,作者并没有过多地责怪科学,而是把矛头指向了制订愚蠢政策的政府。 如果读过迪特里希・德尔纳的《失败的逻辑》之后,或许能够更明晰一下概念:杀虫剂的滥用完全是因为对于事态发展的估计不足。制订政策的人往往只考虑到事态的...
评分《寂静的春天》诞生于1962年,那个时代,工业革命已经蓬勃兴起一个世纪,世界大战结束不久,之前与大自然斗争中一直处于弱势的人类手中握有了科技这把利剑,也终于迎来了一个更具支配地位的时代,正是人们意气风发想要挑战大自然宣示自己霸主地位的时代,这本书却如石破天惊一...
