SUMMARY:Wood Lake Book Club:  Silent Spring
DESCRIPTION:Rarely does a single book alter the course of history\, but Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring did exactly that. The outcry that followed its publication in 1962 forced the banning of DDT and spurred revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air\, land\, and water. Carson’s passionate concern for the future of our planet reverberated powerfully throughout the world. As Carson reminds us\, “In nature\, nothing exists alone.” \nJoin other adults to discuss some wonderful environmental and outdoor recreation-based books. Refreshments will be provided. Books are available at local libraries or may be available for loan through the Interpretive Center.  $5/person; free for members.
