Title: Lies and misinformation, yet solid writing style
Review: I recently read Slient Spring and it had its downs and its up (only one of them)Some infomartion that Carson used to show the effects of DDT on bird eggs were misleading and others were outright lies. Some of the lies she wrote were bogus numbers of deaths and even the "effects" that DDT had. If we had DDT today, I doubt that there would be West Nile in the effect that it is today or Malaria would be as powerful as it is now in Third World nations.The one plus side of Silent Spring was that it had solid writing. The words and "information" flowed easily onto paper.So in the end Silent Spring is a good example of how to write, but not how to do research.
Is the review positive or negative?
