Review of 'Silent spring' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

This book was absolutely relentless. Chapter after chapter of humans decimating vast populations of wildlife in the name of progress and plunder of the natural world. Only the final chapter gave any remote hope for the future. We truly do need to wake up.
