Silent Spring

I started reading this book today. It is called Silent Spring. It is by Rachel Carson. Here is a quote by Peter Matthiessen, about the book, "The cornerstone of the new environmentalism... well crafted, fearless, and succinct." It was made in the 1960's during the vietnam war. It is pretty much the first big book about human's affects on the environment. I am reading it for general biology. I have to write a big thing about it so its probably going to ruin the book for me. Its supposed to be really good though.
