Silent Spring is iconic, the warnings dire, but also set the stage for an environmental movement that it started and which continues today. the predictions did not all come true, but they still could with other be chemicals which have come since. The book is astounding, beautifully written and read.

Well narrated. I've been wanting to read Silent Spring for a while, it works well as an audio book. Lots of fact based content which when read allowed gives the impression that I am attending a university lecture.

A very eye opening and informative book.
