| Opplysninger | "Chronicles the rise of environmental activism during the Long Sixties (1960-1973), telling the story of an indomitable generation that saved the natural world under the leadership of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon"--. - Rachel Carson's book, Silent Spring, published in 1962, depicted how detrimental DDT was to living creatures; its publication launched an ecological revolution. Brinkley chronicles the rise of environmental activism from 1960 to 1973. In doing so, he tells the story of an indomitable generation that saved the natural world under the leadership of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon. While the world still grapples with climate change and resource exhaustion, Brinkley reminds us that a new generation of environmentalists can save the planet from ruin. - adapted from jacket
