First published in 1962, Silent Spring can single-handedly be credited with sounding the alarm and raising awareness of humankind's collective impact on its own future through chemical pollution. No other book has so strongly influenced the environmental conscience of Americans and the world at large. Science

Critics' reviews

"Silent Spring came as a cry in the wilderness, a deeply felt, thoroughly researched, and brilliantly written argument that changed the course of history." (Al Gore)

No book ever made my throat close shut and my eyes wet so fast.
First I heard about this book as it was recommended to my class by a teacher in gardening school. Now, as I started another audiobook recommended by a coworker it got mentioned again. I was prepaired, as I knew the topics of this audiobook but nothing could have prepared me for the touching way it is written and narrated. I can not imagine how the author had found the strength to write and in that process reread this book over and over again and I can not imagine another voice narrating with such a calm and comforting voice that might just make the visions and truths in this book more hounting. Even more real.

I can only recommend this audiobook to everyone. But I might want note, that it displays a vision that is already happening. Not just now, suddenly but rather for many many years and with every year it becomes more real. Lies are beeing told by so many and so many underestimate how large those lies are. And even though many people spend their time, heart and lives to make aware of it, no instagram post, no newspaper article and no science-fiction or dystopia fiction can capture the whole picture.

Please stay safe, vigilant and question what you hear and read. Look close and prick up your ears for the beauty out there, as long as it still is there.

Beutiful and horrifying
