Silent Spring was published in June 1962 by The New Yorker. The author was Rachel Carson, former biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By the time she wrote this book, she was already a well-know nature author. Silent Spring describes the negative effects of DDT (a commonly used powerful pesticide) and it's entrance in the food chain, causing cancer and genetic damage. In it's conclusion she stated that DDT had irrevocably harmed animals and contamined the world's foof supply. As a result the chemical industry became her enemy.
This book was the first to aware people that nature was vulnerable to human intervention.
