Meaningless

What I know about this book going into this: This book asks the reader to imagine a "silent spring" where you don't hear any birds chirping (or maybe also other animals like bees or squirrels) as they're all dead. This was written im response to farmers' excessive usage of "-cides" that ran off crops into the environment. A particularly deadly one was DDT and its byproduct DDE, whereby it made eagle eggs very soft and fragile, to the point many eagles weren't given the chance to even be born before they've died. This book is one of the most important and influential environmentalist works, as it caused outrage by the general public, leading to political reforms and improved regulation on environmentally harmful chemical products, especially in agriculture.
