As part of the new Penguin collection of classic ideas on the environment, this is an excerpt from Rachel Carson's Silent Spring. Written in 1962, it is as timely, powerful and relevant today. She is a wonderful writer and this is clear, erudite and moving about the impact of pesticides. A wonderful introduction to her work and will hopefully help raise awareness of her writing and of the real issues affecting the environment.

With thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a book that will fall into the 'we can't say we were not told' category when we try to explain the state of the world to our great grand kids.

Maybe dated in some ways, but remarkable none the less.
