About this listen
Conservationist Rachel Carson spent over six years documenting the effects on DDT, a synthetic organic compound used as an insecticide, on numerous communities. Her analysis revealed that such powerful, persistent chemical pesticides have been used without a full understanding of the extent of their potential harm to the whole biota, including the damage they've caused to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans. In this book, Carson discusses her findings and expresses passionate concern for the future of the planet and all the life inhabiting it, calling on us all to act responsibly, carefully, and as stewards of the living earth. Additionally, she suggests that all democracies and liberal societies must operate in a way that allows individuals and groups to question what their governments have permitted to be put into the environment. An instant best seller that was read by President Kennedy during the summer of 1962, this classic remains one of the best introductions to the complicated and controversial subject.

Eye opening!!
Beautifully and dispassionately told, for any layman to understand how we can save, or destroy our beloved planet.

Fantastic narration of a fantastic work
Reading this in 2021 and I am struck by the eloquence and poetry of RC and the relevance of the topic. It seems more important than ever to revisit such works so that we could do a lot better than we have when it comes to issues of environment. One aspect that we can think through is thinking of environmental justice via social justice lens. Matters of race and gender are not discussed and still, there is no denying the mastery of the author. Narrated wonderfully, I listened at 1 speed levels but only towards the end : but the book is worth every second one spends on it!!

Scary
Bit technical. Requires interest in the subject and courage to complete. But the last chapter is interesting.
