Primavera Silenciosa

Primavera Silenciosa

Produto da inquietude de Rachel Carson, "Primavera silenciosa" desafiou a sabedoria de um governo que permitia que substâncias tóxicas fossem lançadas no meio ambiente antes de saber as consequências de seu uso a longo prazo. Por meio de uma linguagem simples e usando informações a respeito das radiações atômicas, Carson descreveu como os inseticidas alteravam os processos celulares das plantas, animais e seres humanos. Um livro para saborear: não pelo lado sombrio da natureza humana, mas pela promessa de possibilidade de vida.

Rachel Carson foi uma bióloga marinha, ecologista e escritora norte-americana. Sua obra – na qual se destaca o livro Silent spring (Primavera silenciosa), de 1962 – é apontada como a deflagradora do movimento ambientalista moderno.

Nasceu em 1907 numa propriedade rural de 26 hectares, no interior do estado da Pensilvânia, que ela gostava de explorar quando menina. Seu pai era vendedor de seguros; sua mãe, dona de casa. Era leitora ávida e, aos oito anos, começou a escrever histórias – em geral, incluindo animais. Aos dez, publicou sua primeira história numa revista local e, a seguir, várias outras. O editor da revista lhe enviou um cheque de dez dólares - na época, bom dinheiro!

Em 1925, terminou o ensino médio como primeira da classe e ingressou no College da Pensilvânia para Mulheres (hoje, Universidade Chatham). Optou por língua inglesa, mas, em 1928, mudou para biologia e graduou-se, em 1929, magna laude.

Com a recessão da economia, teve de trabalhar em meio expediente para ajudar a família, mas obteve mestrado em zoologia na Universidade Johns Hopkins, em 1932.

58 anos de Primavera Silenciosa

Em 1962, a bióloga norte-americana Rachel Carson (1907-1964) publicou uma das obras mais importantes do século 20. Primavera Silenciosa é considerado o primeiro alerta mundial contra os efeitos nocivos do uso de pesticidas na agricultura. O livro influenciou a criação da agência de proteção ambiental (Epa) nos Estados Unidos e inspirou movimentos ambientalistas em diversos países. O livro de Carson, porém, mais que um alerta contra os agrotóxicos, divulgou uma mensagem ética: a relação do homem com a natureza está no caminho errado e precisa mudar.

Coleção Rachel Carson

Primavera Silenciosa Produto da inquietude de Rachel Carson, "Primavera silenciosa" desafiou a sabedoria de um governo que permitia que substâncias tóxicas fossem lançadas no meio ambiente antes de saber as consequências de seu uso a longo prazo. Por meio de uma linguagem simples e usando informações a respeito das radiações atômicas, Carson descreveu como os inseticidas alteravam os processos celulares das plantas, animais e seres humanos. Um livro para saborear: não pelo lado sombrio da natureza humana, mas pela promessa de possibilidade de vida.	O Mar Que Nos Cerca Este livro é um minucioso estudo do oceano escrito ao estilo Rachel Carson, que faz ciência em forma de romance. Além de receber inúmeras premiações, foi traduzido em trinta idiomas e vendeu mais de 200 mil exemplares. Segundo Ann H. Zwinger, que assina a Introdução desta edição, O mar que nos cerca continua a nos alertar sobre os perigos de usar os oceanos e, por extensão, o ambiente de modo imprudente, além de nos dar a direção, como uma estrela-guia e expressar de forma precisa e em prosa lírica seu comprometimento com o mundo natural. Não apenas pela beleza de suas palavras, mas pela contemplação do mundo líquido e verde que circunda nossos continentes e unifica nosso planeta, este é um livro para ser lido com imenso prazer.	Beira - Mar Neste livro, Carson explora as regiões costeiras rochosas, as praias arenosas e os recifes de coral, conduzindo-nos a mundos insondados para revelar a beleza evanescente de uma piscina natural e contar a história de um grão de areia. A autora expressa pensamentos e sentimentos, apresenta agentes marinhos, como as ondas, as correntes marítimas, as marés e as águas dos mares, citados em todo o livro, e se estende pelas interpretações das costas rochosas, praias arenosas e o mundo dos recifes de corais. A obra é iluminada pelos desenhos de Bob Hines e para nos auxiliar contém um apêndice que apresenta exemplos, grupos, ou filos, de organismos fotossintetizantes e animais, transformados em pura poesia e beleza pela escrita desta notável escritora.
