In these times, particularly in these times, it is reflective to remember we were warned over 50 years ago that we were/are in conflict with nature. Rachel Carson published Silent Spring on September 27, 1962. It was shocking and groundbreaking then and worth rereading today.
The Bibliophile's Devotional chose Earth Day (April 22) as the day to celebrate Carson's historic observations about humankind and nature.
"Silent Spring came as a cry in the wilderness, a deeply felt, thoroughly researched, and brilliantly written argument that changed the course of history. Without this book the environmental movement might have been long delayed or never developed at all."
-Al Gore, Introduction to the 1994 edition
