具体描述
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.
This is a rigorous presentation of the effects of pesticide use as well as a call to greater awareness of our environment.
作者简介
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《狮子王》中有一段经典对白，狮子王木法沙语重心长地告诉小狮子辛巴——要懂得大自然的微妙平衡，要尊重每一种生物：从爬行的蚂蚁到跳跃的羚羊，大自然是环环相扣的，虽然狮子捕食羚羊，可狮子死去以后会化为青草，成为羚羊们的美味。小狮子当时并不懂父亲所说，直到多...
评分文/吴情 谈及春天，我们总容易想起“红杏枝头春意闹”、“佳节清明桃李笑”这样清新明快的诗句。细细品味咂摸，可以发现，无论是“闹”，抑或是“笑”，感人之处都在于将春天写活写亮。春天，记忆的春天也好，现实的春天也罢，都应是一副生机盎然的模样：“春江水暖鸭...
