- Authors
Ghanta, Shreeja; Paul, X. John
- Abstract
This paper revisits Rachel Carson's Silent Sprint in order to show how seminal the work has been in the wake of the global concerns over the climate changes and environemental disaster in our times. Carson's focus was on the balance of nature and the web of life and she presented the horrible effects of the tremendous use of chemicals since World War II. She highlighted the impact and effects of DDT and chlorinated hydrocarbons to the world. Carson rightly marked that the chemicals are homicides rather than pesticides. Her work is celebrated worldwide because of her ability to foresee the future.
