UPDATE: We are almost done listening to this book. We had to listen to one CD at a time alternating with music and other books since it didn't keep the littler kids interest as much. I wanted my older kids to hear it though. Terry Tempest Williams said her grandmother read this to her and that's what inspired me to share this with the kids. I wish I had read this book many years ago. Though I was aware of the dangers of chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, etc.), it was amazing to have it all spelled out for me. It reminded me of the reasons to drink filtered water. It made me rethink the way I want to live in this environment and I have some goals for myself in that area. How someone could read this book and consider it alarmist, I don't know. Carson wasn't just speaking of wildlife death, but also human death and disease associated with pesticides and herbicides. Plus, she cites multitudes of references to research articles and other sources. I believe it is every bit as pertinent today i.e. with diagnoses of chronic fatigue syndrome, a disease that is not well explained but may well be due to an accumulation of a lifetime of chemicals in the body. This information is dated in the sense that Carson was talking about DDT, but not in consideration of the thousands of chemicals that we encounter each day. I found this book especially alarming because although I am a zoologist and ecologist by study, I grew up in a staunchly republican state where care of the environment was not top on the billet. The Democrats (liberals) who were talking about the environment were made to seem just a bit wacked. Now the rest of the world is catching on to an idea that isn't left or right, but moderate and extremely important to the future of the planet (and more importantly, our children, grand children, great-grandchildren etc.).
