Story
Noted transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau spent two years, two months, and two days chronicling his near-isolation in the small cabin he built in the woods near Walden Pond on land owned by his mentor, the father of Transcendentalism, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Immersing himself in nature and solitude, Thoreau sought to develop a greater understanding of society amidst a life of self-reliance and simplicity. Originally published in 1854, Walden remains one of the most celebrated works in American literature.

Story
Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. If we don't change the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels.

Story
At the heart of this classic, seminal book is Julian Jaynes' still-controversial thesis that human consciousness did not begin far back in animal evolution but instead is a learned process that came about only 3,000 years ago and is still developing. The implications of this revolutionary scientific paradigm extend into virtually every aspect of our psychology, our history and culture, our religion - and indeed our future.

Publisher's Summary
Conservationist Rachel Carson spent over six years documenting the effects on DDT, a synthetic organic compound used as an insecticide, on numerous communities. Her analysis revealed that such powerful, persistent chemical pesticides have been used without a full understanding of the extent of their potential harm to the whole biota, including the damage they've caused to wildlife, birds, bees, agricultural animals, domestic pets, and even humans. In this book, Carson discusses her findings and expresses passionate concern for the future of the planet and all the life inhabiting it, calling on us all to act responsibly, carefully, and as stewards of the living earth. Additionally, she suggests that all democracies and liberal societies must operate in a way that allows individuals and groups to question what their governments have permitted to be put into the environment. An instant best seller that was read by President Kennedy during the summer of 1962, this classic remains one of the best introductions to the complicated and controversial subject.

Like it was written in 2019!
I was listening to this book in the car with my husband and he asked me when it was written. He couldn’t believe it was almost 60 years old. It was like it was written just yesterday. I love Carson’s writing and this book will be one I read again and again.

A surprisingly relevant horror story
Rachel Carson describes the dystopian future where we slowly poison ourselves to maintain our own sense of safety and control with the use of pesticides.
While written in 1962, the message remains relevant.
Narration is excellent and has excellent flow.
This one is not great for falling asleep to given the subject matter, but definitely a good listen to those interested in environmental science.

Still relevant today
This book isn't outdated at all. While DDT, benzene and other chemical pesticides Rachel Carson discusses may not be in use, the themes that are tacitly unveiled (like corporate interests preceding human health or individual property rights) give us a stark warning today of how scientific knowledge can be pushed aside and institutions meant to protect the public good can be undermined. One of my favourite books and authors now!
