Silent Spring is a book by Rachel Carson, published in 1962, which documents the detrimental effects of pesticides on the environment, especially on birds. Carson accuses the chemical industry of spreading misinformation and public officials of accepting the industry's marketing claims without question. The book was instrumental in spurring the environmental movement and led to the ban of DDT and other pesticides in many countries.
Rachel Louise Carson was an American marine biologist, writer, and conservationist whose sea trilogy (1941–1955) and book Silent Spring (1962) are credited with advancing marine conservation and the global environmental movement.
