$5 · Silent Spring - Classic Climate Change Book

The classic that launched the environmental movement. Pickup is in Saanich, close to the Monkey Tree Pub and ICBC off McKenzie Ave. Rarely does a single book alter the course of history, but Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring did exactly that. The outcry that followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Carson’s passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world. As Carson reminds us, "In nature, nothing exists alone.”
