The acclaimed environmental book, "Silent Spring," was written by RACHEL CARSON in 1962.
The book documented the negative effects of indiscriminate use of pesticides to the environment - particularly on the birds.
The publication of this book led to public awareness that chemical company has tried to subdue by vehemently denying Carson's allegations. However, the popularity of the book supported by the public outcry led to the reversal in national pesticide policy. DDT became banned from agricultural uses.
