具體描述
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.
著者簡介
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.

讀後感
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“...
評分（一） 最近在网络上，一个关于石油化工方面的项目的异议，唤醒了我的一些记忆。 我从小在一家化工厂的单位里长大，对于什么是污染，还是有些切身的感受。 在我们那里，一般人都牙齿不太好，或多或少有鼻炎。每次厂子里，安排体检时，被检查出脾大，通常被认为是太正常不过...
評分《寂静的春天》描述了农药所带来的一连串连锁反应。它导致地表下和地下海受到污染、土壤贫瘠、生物链断口，最后发生一场无人幸免的天灾。这种惊世骇俗的预言招到了各方的抨击。因为，当时在政策中还没有“环境”这一条款时，她以《寂静的春天》为扩音器，在1962年，大声喊出了...
評分文/吴情 谈及春天，我们总容易想起“红杏枝头春意闹”、“佳节清明桃李笑”这样清新明快的诗句。细细品味咂摸，可以发现，无论是“闹”，抑或是“笑”，感人之处都在于将春天写活写亮。春天，记忆的春天也好，现实的春天也罢，都应是一副生机盎然的模样：“春江水暖鸭...
評分有很长一段时期，我们拒绝谦卑。我们人类履至尊而制地球、执敲扑而役自然的决心是如此不可动摇，我们怎么可能谦和、卑从地甘受少数异端的蛊惑，回归到听天由命、膜拜造化的时代。我们的决心来自那份如今依然被部分人标为不容置疑的信念——人乃万物之灵。人类应当平等地对待其...
