The effects of this book was viewed based on nature compromised by synthetic pesticides, whereby once the pesticides goes way up into the biosphere, it will affect not only bugs, or food chain of fishes and birds, it will also make children to fall sick, which would be of negative effect to the world.
Explanation:
Rachel Carson's work had a powerful influence on the environmental movement. in the 1960's Silent Spring became a rallying point for the new social movement.
According to environmental engineer and Carson scholar Hynes Patricia, the balance of power in the world was altered by "Silent Spring''.
Henry David Thoreau, wrote about Walden Pond. Silent Spring described a view of the of nature compromise by synthetic pesticides, such as DDT. Once these pesticides is in the biosphere, Carson said that, they not only killed bugs but also entered the food chain of the fish and bird populations and could eventually make children to fall sick.
Case studies and plenty of data and case that Carson drew from weren’t current, though scientific community had known of these research for some time, but Carson was the first to put all the pieces of work together to draw stark and far-reaching conclusions and for the public in general. for this singular act, Carson, the citizen-scientist, began a revolution.
Silent Spring, which sold over two million copies, made a an important case for the idea that if human kind poisoned nature, nature would in turn reciprocate."Our destructive and heedless acts enter into the vast cycles of the earth and in time return to bring hazard to ourselves."
