Silent Spring

Silent Spring is the masterpiece of an American writer Rachel Carson, and one of the world's most influential works over 50 years!

In the book Silent Spring, Carson, with a vivid writing style that is unique to female writers, described the huge and irreversible harm caused by the widespread use of insecticides represented by DDT to our environment in a detailed and vivid way.

Moreover, Carson also incisively pointed out that the root cause of environmental problems lies in human's arrogance and ignorance to the nature, so she called people on re-correcting the attitude toward nature, and rethinking the development path of human society.
