Silent Spring Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) became the inspiration for the environmental movement. Its elegant prose expressed passionate outrage at the ravaging of beautiful‚ unspoiled nature by man.

This message was snapped up by intellectuals‚ and the book sold over a million copies. Many organizations have sprung up to spread Carson’s message.
