Originally published in 1962, "Silent Spring" by American marine biologist and zoologist Rachel Carson is a landmark work that exposed the devastating environmental effects of the indiscriminate use of pesticides, particularly DDT. With scientific rigor and compelling prose, Carson's work was instrumental in launching the modern environmental movement, shifting ecology from a purely scientific field to a matter of global social concern. This edition, part of the Drakontos collection by Editorial Crítica, remains an essential read for understanding the fragility of our planet and the ongoing importance of environmental conservation.

Rachel Louise Carson was an American marine biologist, writer, and conservationist whose sea trilogy (1941–1955) and book Silent Spring (1962) are credited with advancing marine conservation and the global environmental movement.
