Newest Perspectives Examines Silent Spring's Legacy
02.11.2012
Fifty years have passed since the publication of Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, the influential work that many credit with launching the modern environmental movement.
This issue of RCC Perspectives takes a sweeping look at encounters with and legacies of the book, examining the global impact of Silent Spring over its half century of existence. It takes a critical look at the ways in which Rachel Carson’s ecological worldview equips us to understand and confront current and future challenges to our planet.
The issue features provocative essays by both established scholars of the environmental humanties, such as Jenny Price, Lawrence Culver and Nancy Langston, and a representative from the next generation of environmental scholars, our Silent Spring essay contest winner Akrish Adhikari.
