modern environmentalist movement.

Have you heard of the book "Silent Spring"? Published in 1962, it gave birth to the modern environmentalist movement. 

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of its publication, we pay tribute to its author, marine biologist Rachel Carson, who challenged the entire world to understand that humanity was a part of nature and responsible for its care.
