Conor Jameson will describe what inspired him to write Silent Spring Revisited. He will look at the impact made by Rachel Carson’s momentous book Silent Spring in 1962, and what happened next, picking out the highlights year by year. This talk reveals the heroism of its author, the flak she took, and her lasting, inspirational legacy.
