SILENT SPRING

Book condition: Near Fine in a Very Good or better dustwrapper with light chipping to the spine head and minor edgewear
Book Description
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1962. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in a Very Good or better dustwrapper with light chipping to the spine head and minor edgewear. This book on the effects of pesticides is a landmark in environmental writing inspiring the movement that led to the banning of DDT and raising awareness of the important connection between humans and their environment which hitherto had been generally taken for granted. This copy is SIGNED by the author on the half-title page. Signed copies of this important book, one of the most important of the century by many standards, are rather scarce as, ironically, Carson died of cancer less than two years after its publication.
