Rachel Carson
À propos de cet audio
Conservationist Rachel Carson spent over six years documenting the effects on DDT, a synthetic organic compound used as an insecticide, on numerous communities. Her analysis revealed that such powerful, persistent chemical pesticides have been used without a full understanding of the extent of their potential harm to the whole biota, including the damage they've caused to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans. In this book, Carson discusses her findings and expresses passionate concern for the future of the planet and all the life inhabiting it, calling on us all to act responsibly, carefully, and as stewards of the living earth. Additionally, she suggests that all democracies and liberal societies must operate in a way that allows individuals and groups to question what their governments have permitted to be put into the environment. An instant best seller that was read by President Kennedy during the summer of 1962, this classic remains one of the best introductions to the complicated and controversial subject.

America's Great Plains once possessed one of the grandest wildlife spectacles of the world, equaled only by such places as the Serengeti, the Masai Mara, or the veld of South Africa. Pronghorn antelope, gray wolves, bison, coyotes, wild horses, and grizzly bears: less than 200 years ago these creatures existed in such abundance that John James Audubon was moved to write "it is impossible to describe or even conceive the vast multitudes of these animals".

When we use chemical fertilizers, we injure the microbial life that sustains plants and then become increasingly dependent on an arsenal of toxic substances. Teaming with Microbes offers an alternative to this vicious circle and details how to garden in a way that strengthens, rather than destroys, the soil food web. You’ll discover that healthy soil is teeming with life - not just earthworms and insects, but a staggering multitude of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms.

"There is the mammal way and there is the bird way." But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries - what they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive. They are also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own.

On April 23, 1984, in a packed press conference room in Washington, DC, the secretary of health and human services declared “The probable cause of AIDS has been found.” By the next day, “probable” had fallen away, and the novel retrovirus later named HIV became forever lodged in global consciousness as “the AIDS virus.” Celia Farber, then an intrepid young reporter for SPIN magazine, was the only journalist to question the official narrative and dig into the science of AIDS.

A surprisingly relevant horror story
Rachel Carson describes the dystopian future where we slowly poison ourselves to maintain our own sense of safety and control with the use of pesticides.
While written in 1962, the message remains relevant.
Narration is excellent and has excellent flow.
This one is not great for falling asleep to given the subject matter, but definitely a good listen to those interested in environmental science.

Like it was written in 2019!
I was listening to this book in the car with my husband and he asked me when it was written. He couldn’t believe it was almost 60 years old. It was like it was written just yesterday. I love Carson’s writing and this book will be one I read again and again.

Still relevant today
This book isn't outdated at all. While DDT, benzene and other chemical pesticides Rachel Carson discusses may not be in use, the themes that are tacitly unveiled (like corporate interests preceding human health or individual property rights) give us a stark warning today of how scientific knowledge can be pushed aside and institutions meant to protect the public good can be undermined. One of my favourite books and authors now!

Carson's brilliant work has not been heeded
Loved it, should be required reading for all students and teachers. Brilliant, brave woman.
