Before I picked up this book, I already knew (and admired) Rachel Carson and her work – and Murphy's narrative just made me more impressed than ever with Silent Spring. The writing style is easy to follow and everything is carefully organized. An interesting read for anyone who wants to know more about environmental topics, public debate, or books & media in the 1960s.
