Yep, Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring is probably the inspiration for all the Tom, Dick and Harrys that write a book nowadays. Her book started a wave that didn't begin with science and didn't end with science. Because of that book DDT was eventually banned. It is believed that DDT was responsible for saving 40 million American lives. Unfortunately, the ban also caused the death of untold millions. Thank-you EPA!!!!!!!!
