[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED First Edition of Rachel Carson's SILENT SPRING

[Charles Agvent]

CARSON, Rachel. SILENT SPRING. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1962. 
First Edition. This book on the effects of pesticides is a landmark in 
environmental writing inspiring the movement that led to the banning of 
DDT and raising awareness of the important connection between humans and 
their environment which hitherto had been generally taken for granted. 
This copy is SIGNED "with best wishes" by the author on the half-title 
page. Signed copies of this important book, one of the most important of 
the century by many standards, are rather scarce as, ironically, Carson 
died of cancer less than two years after its publication. Near Fine in a 
Very Good dustwrapper with moderate edgewear and a few small internal 
tape repairs. (#019818)        $3,750
