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.
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.

評分蕾切尔·卡森女士的《寂静的春天》阅读接近尾声,我觉得可以写上点什么了。 看着上译本后文中p299-p366那常常的参考文献索引以及从文章中体会出那种冷静的文字(其实开始我对不用阿拉伯数字而用汉字表示而有些阅读上的不快,后来才发现是编排上的一致感)就知道在50年前,在“...
評分有很长一段时期,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...
評分【书评人俱乐部】环保主义的圣经?还是毒药? 《寂静的春天》自1962年出版以来,就被奉为现代环保主义的圣经。有趣的是,我国著名科幻作家刘慈欣的《三体》一经问市,也就迅速的被广大科幻迷奉为当代中国最杰出的科幻小说。而我第一次知道《寂静的春天》,也正是从大刘的这本...
本來還覺得隻讀瞭四分之一就標看過有點不好意思 轉念一想 其實隻要看完課文就可以標看過瞭 於是毫不遲疑 其實如果不是課文應該得分更高的 看在這本書當時掀起如此軒然大波擁有五花八門的封麵的份上
