Silent Spring pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
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.

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.

讀後感
不知别人的感觉如何，我读了这本书之后的感觉，作者并没有过多地责怪科学，而是把矛头指向了制订愚蠢政策的政府。 如果读过迪特里希・德尔纳的《失败的逻辑》之后，或许能够更明晰一下概念：杀虫剂的滥用完全是因为对于事态发展的估计不足。制订政策的人往往只考虑到事态的...
評分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...
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...
評分《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...
評分一 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...
