It is really enjoyable to read this classic and thoughtful book, Silent Spring, released in 1962, written by Rachel Carlson. The impact of green revolution is clearly noticed, particularly in the use of pesticides. She claimed that the use of pesticides is more destructive than any other impact of agricultural inputs. This book is still relevant to the present time when the use of pesticides is getting more integrated with the application of genetic engineering to have pesticide-resistant plants. Ecologists must read this book, so do with environmental and agricultural students in general. No one really want to have a silent spring! Let's stop the use of excessive pesticides in agricultural practices.
