Silent Spring

About the Book

Teagan White is an artist and naturalist whose delicate work illuminates Carson’s eloquent depictions of the natural world in turmoil. Five full-page illustrations draw attention to important messages in the narrative, while the binding design is both beautiful and prophetic. A selection of colour photographs, curated from the Documerica archive, complements case studies in the book. A collection of over 20,000 images documenting areas of environmental concern in America in the early 1970s, the archive is a valuable snapshot of ecological history.

Margaret Atwood’s astonishing introduction was first published in the Guardian to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Silent Spring's publication. ‘Rachel Carson is a saint’ writes Atwood, as she addresses the often gender-specific backlash that Carson faced on publication. An afterword by the Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist and author of The Diversity of Life, Edward O. Wilson, completes this outstanding edition. Writing of Carson’s legacy and the huge impact her work had on education and action, Wilson also reminds us that, ‘the battle Rachel Carson helped to lead on behalf of the environment is far from won’.
