Synopsis

Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, published in 1962, did more than any other single publication or event to alert the world to the hazards of environmental poisoning, and to shape a powerful social movement that would alter the course of American history. This definitive biography, based on personal documents and reminiscences hitherto unseen, shows how Carson became a reluctant reformer. It also illuminates and evaluates for the first time her courage and her contribution to the contemporary environmental movement, and makes accessible for the first time her personal life.
