to enjoy prose written with love
May 24, 2017

I have not read “The Sea Around Us” and “Silent Spring” for many years but now and then I browse through them when I need to read about the thinking of the time and the beauty of the prose. This purchase was made to be sent to my granddaughter who should have them when she is old enough to understand them and learn from them, and of course, to enjoy prose written with love. The Carson bio I have not read at all. It was bought specifically as part of my gift. The first time I read “The Sea Around Us” I was mesmerized and so spellbound I couldn’t put it down until I finished it. Every time I go back to it the result is more or less the same. “Silent Spring” is a little more technical in its scientific, scary message to all of us. I am an 84-year-old man who may not be here much longer and if I can leave something for my grandkids to remember me by I can see clearly it must be the treasures written by romantics like me and bound between two covers or however the future dictates.

A study of poison by ignorance
December 1, 2017

I grew up as a farm girl fully exposed to the new poisons in home and field . I farmed for 35 years before understanding environmental crime and converting my gardening practices. Only now, thanks to Rachael do I know the extent of chemical damage and it’s extensive impact. She has instilled a constructive fear in me to continue a conversion of thought and practice.

It’s a good quick read
March 24, 2018

It’s a good quick read. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone younger then 16. Carson was a great author and could reach most educated people. That said much of the content is well above the general populus knowledge level. The sales pitch of it being a novel was completely inaccurate. Most people won’t understand the chemistry although she does a fair job tracing many of the common pollutants like DDT through the major environmental mediums. While the book is great for historical context, I think everyone interested in Preservation, Conservation, or Environmentalism should read this.

Pivotal environmental classic
May 26, 2018

I can’t believe I am finally reading this classic book. I am so impressed by her examples from the 1950s and early 60s, when the country was prosperous and innocent, yet starting to be impacted by aggressive and ignorant use of chemicals.

Her writing prose is incredible. I have to say it’s a pretty dense and technical book that’s taken me awhile to finish. But worth it. If I could I would buy one for every member of Congress, since the optimism expressed by the book now seems in great peril with the Trump administration reforming executive branch agencies to give corporations control.

Clear Science Writing For The Masses
April 6, 2020

The capacity for humans to not think through the ramifications of their choices on the environment and destroy it without meaning to do so inspired Rachel Carson’s classic Silent Spring. In it, she traces the links between the rising use of pesticides and insecticides and the devastating consequences it has had for animal life in areas where application is wide-spread. Worse yet, it often doesn’t accomplish the desired effect in the long term, which just encourages even heavier use. She doesn’t flinch away from the fact that humans are animals, too, and highlights the issues that can arise for the people who live in the often-rural and therefore less-seen communities where these poisons are used most significantly. And since these people frequently eat locally-sourced meat and fish, the problem of biological magnification (animals eating food that has its own level of exposure, compounding with each step up the food chain) becomes even more pressing for them.

Carson writes all of this in strong, clear prose that first explains the concepts she’s introducing and then illustrates them with examples of the devastating effects of poisons that are marketed as safe and effective on life, from plants all the way up to people. She doesn’t condescend and though her urgency is clear, it doesn’t feel alarmist or like a scare tactic. Instead, she presents her case that we need to start paying attention and questioning what we’re told rigorously but understandably. Science writing often veers into the esoteric, and this book should be used an exemplar for how to write for the popular market without getting bogged down in details or sidetracked into areas more consequential for the author than the reader.

This book’s continuing relevance even after it led to the the ban of DDT, the chemical she primarily discusses, is a result of both Carson’s skill as a writer and the impact her work managed to have on the public. Not only did it take DDT off the market, it blazed the path that eventually led to the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency by President Nixon. Imaging a book being so popular and espousing its cause so effectively that it led to the creation of a new federal agency in today’s world seems preposterous. All of that being said, this book wasn’t an unqualified success for me. After a while, her constant use of examples of a chemical being introduced and the death of wildlife that followed started to feel repetitive, blunting its impact. And I found myself a bit skeptical of the rosiness with which she portrayed the alternative option of importing predators for invasive species control…to the best of my understanding, that can have harmful side effects of its own. All in all, though, this book is readable, relevant, and worth a perusal before you go nuts with the Round-Up on the dandelions.
