Abstract

When Rachel Carson sounded the alarm about the impact of DDT on wildlife in her book Silent Spring, she didn’t mean to start a movement against persistent, fat-soluble toxicants such as pesticides that build up in the food chain. Rather, she felt a responsibility to clue in the rest of the world to what she had discovered: the vulnerability of nature in the face of human intervention. Carson’s work led to increased scrutiny of the impact of pesticides and other chemicals on nature and wildlife.
