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.

评分一 今天下午碰到写《哈佛经济学笔记》的陈晋，说到一个故事。 说DDT当年是消灭蚊虫的，减少传播致命的疟疾。Rachel Carson在1962年出《寂静的春天》，说鸟语花香在几十年后因为环境恶化不见了，罪魁祸首之一是DDT，书出版后，很多地方禁止使用DDT，但与此 同时，2000万儿童死...
评分19、20世纪以来的科技革命使得人类社会“飞速发展”了。如今，连这个 发展速度本身也在飞速提高着。飞机飞行超过一定加速度的时候，飞行 员就会因超重而黑视，两眼模糊，看不清东西。如今的人类社会就已经 进入了“黑视”状态。我们看不清世界，看不清自己。作为动物的本能...
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“...
