Description

In twenty short books, Penguin brings you the classics of the environmental
movement. With the precision of a scientist and the simplicity of a fable,
Rachel Carson reveals how man-made pesticides have destroyed wildlife,
creating a world of polluted streams and silent songbirds. Over the past 75
years, a new canon has emerged. As life on Earth has become irrevocably
altered by humans, visionary thinkers around the world have raised their
voices to defend the planet, and affirm our place at the heart of its
restoration. Their words have endured through the decades, becoming the
classics of a movement. Together, these books show the richness of
environmental thought, and point the way to a fairer, saner, greener world.
