Beyond Silent Spring Integrated Pest Management and Chemical Safety

The 1962 edition publication of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring generated unprecedented concern about the environmental and health problems associated with two decades of widespread use of synthetic pesticides. Over thirty years later, Beyond Silent Spring provides a comprehensive distillation of current views on the issues it raised. With heightened international concern for the environment, and increased emphasis on the need for an integrated approach to the use and control of chemicals, this volume also provides an invaluable review of the successes and limitations of recent regimes of pest and polluting chemical management.Emden, Helmut F. van is the author of 'Beyond Silent Spring Integrated Pest Management and Chemical Safety' with ISBN 9780412728006 and ISBN 0412728001.
