Rachel Carson became a guiding spirit of the modern environmental movement with her groundbreaking 1962 best seller “Silent Spring.” It forced us to reconsider our fundamental faith in science and technology. Carson discussed her findings and with plenty of examples makes a passionate plea for the future of the planet, calling on us to act as stewards of the environment. In this episode we dive into the details of the book, the parallels with today’s campaign against climate change, and how this book, heavy in the details of chemical applications of the 1950s, applies to our daily lives and work.
