The preface briefly describes the author's difficulties in publishing the book. At that time, people's awareness of environmental protection was not awakened, and her contrary views were naturally not accepted by people. They also obstructed her actions in every possible way, such as not allowing relevant information to be accessed, calling her a so-called "extremist", etc. However, this did not make Rachel Carson retreat. With her strong perseverance and forward-looking vision, she warned people to have an objective understanding of chemical substances, and she finished the book in pain. In general, if we can still hear the singing of birds in spring now, we should really be grateful to her. In addition, the book cites a large number of examples as evidence to increase the credibility of the article. It also lists numbers and other explanation methods, and writes about the harm caused by people's uncontrolled spraying of pesticides to the environment, animals and plants, and to humans themselves. After each "poison rain", not only did it not produce the expected effects, but it led to animal corpses everywhere, withered plants, water pollution, and fish deaths. As the food chain accumulates, it is humans who are ultimately affected. Soil contamination, during which crops absorb toxic chemicals, eventually make their way to the market, and it is humans who reap the bitter fruits. Of course such examples abound. The article is also full of the author's deep thoughts and appeals, hoping that people who have realized the poison of chemical substances can take action and should and must try to use natural prevention and control. As is done with Japanese beetles, natural enemies of the beetles are introduced. This is much better than using chemical substances to prevent and control the disease, which consumes a lot of materials, consumes relatively less money, and can achieve long-lasting control effects without harming the environment. A few people always want to control nature, but they don't know that nature is resisting, and the self-righteous humans are always the ones who get hurt in the end. But at the same time, more and more people are making continuous efforts to protect the environment. We should also know that "protecting nature means protecting humans themselves." It reminds us that we should use scientific methods to deal with pests that hinder production and life, which means that we must not harm nature while protecting our own interests. This method exists, and there are examples in the last three chapters of the book. Chemical substances are certainly scary, but the author's purpose is not to make us afraid of them, but to teach us how to handle them correctly and how to better protect nature.

In order to kill the so-called "pests", we always release the helpers and demons of our own creation - chemical pesticides. It has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it helps crops grow without being eaten by insects. The disadvantage is that it may cause insects to become extinct. It may also cause the birds that eat the poisoned insects and the animals in this biological chain to be infected by chemical pesticides. If we just blindly let chemical pesticides go unchecked, it will only cause more serious consequences and lead to bioaccumulation. Therefore, please wake up and don't overuse chemical pesticides and don't let our spring become silent!

I like this book very much because I am an admirer of nature. We are surrounded by wars, killings, roaring machines, concrete stone forests, chemical agents, and global warming. I hope this book can awaken the conscience of more people.

Carson said, "I know what I am doing, and if I remain silent any longer, I will not be able to feel at peace in my heart."

This book was written very timely. If it were later, maybe there would be no spring for human beings.

Faced with such a serious novel, I don't know why some people can still advertise it in book reviews.

The full text describes a series of hazards caused by people's abuse of various chemical reagents from various aspects, arousing people's vigilance. Finally, another path written is to lead people to a better way to protect the environment and treat it well instead of changing the environment. A very meaningful book.

Being kind to life and the environment means being kind to ourselves. Vegetarians are healthy and at the same time protect a large part of the earth's environmental resources. If the majority of human beings who have relatively large decision-making power are too selfish and unwilling to make the wisest choice for the human group, just to safeguard their own interests, doing so will eventually destroy the future generations, life span and safety of human beings.

It's so timely. It turns out that the environment we live in is like this. It's time for people to wake up.

I have heard of this book for a long time, but I have never had the chance to read it because I need to read it for study. I feel deeply about it. To protect the environment, it starts with me, starting with small things, let us take action together.
