The outcry that followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson's passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world, and her elequent book was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. It is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century"--Back cover. 650 0 $a Pesticides $x Environmental aspects. 650 0 $a Pesticides $x Toxicology. 650 0 $a Pesticides and wildlife. 650 0 $a Insect pests $x Biological control. 650 7 $a Insect pests $x Biological control. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973990 650 7 $a Pesticides and wildlife. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01059099 650 7 $a Pesticides $x Environmental aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01059032 650 7 $a Pesticides $x Toxicology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01059092 700 1 $a Lear, Linda J., $d 1940- $e writer of introduction. 700 1 $a Wilson, Edward O., $e writer of afterword. 941 $a 2 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909042958.0 952 $l BNPD611 $d 20210323020200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6A9EFADAE45E11E6907227C6DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b JIWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
