{"product_id":"silent-spring","title":"Silent Spring","description":"\u003cp\u003eRarely does a single book alter the course of history, but Rachel Carson's Silent Spring did exactly that. The outcry that followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred the 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 eloquent book on the dangers of widespread pesticide use was instrumental in launching the environmental movement. It is without question one of the landmark books of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis foundational work of environmental science and conservation revealed the dark side of progress and its effects on the natural world: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Landmark Environmental Classic: \u003c\/b\u003e Discover the eloquent, meticulously researched book that awakened public consciousness and single-handedly launched the modern environmental movement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Science of Ecology: \u003c\/b\u003e A stunning and poetic examination of the intricate web of life, showing how harm to one part of the ecosystem reverberates through the whole, from insects to birds to humans.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Powerful Call for Conservation: \u003c\/b\u003e More than just a scientific study, this is a passionate call to action that challenges the idea of \"controlling nature\" and demands a new respect for the planet we share.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Dangers of DDT: \u003c\/b\u003e Carson exposes how the indiscriminate spraying of pesticides like DDT contaminates our soil, water, and food, creating a chain of poisoning and death.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 061825305X\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780618253050\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Carson, Rachel\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Mariner Books Classics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Mariner Books Classics","offers":[{"title":"Paperback (Oct 2002)","offer_id":46080441155781,"sku":"9780618249060","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/6414\/2533\/files\/9780618253050.jpg?v=1776037094","url":"https:\/\/www.inveni.store\/products\/silent-spring","provider":"Inveni","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
