SILENT SPRING

Carson's seminal work SILENT SPRING has been the gold standard of the environmental movement for more than 50 years. In this new audio production, narrator Susie Berneis faces the same problem that Carson herself tackled: how to make the complex workings of the natural world easy for the average person to follow. Berneis is more than up to the task as she uses a clear voice and careful tone to walk the listener through passages of scientific exposition. Berneis truly excels when her narration mirrors the emotion Carson made so evident in her work. She is by turns passionate, saddened, uplifted, and furious at the history and impact of synthetic pesticides on every aspect of nature and our lives.
