Lamont Cole
Cole, an ecologist at Cornell University, reviewed Silent Spring in Scientific American.
(There is now an award named after him for an outstanding paper by a graduate student in ecology at Cornell.)
Be sure to review Chaps. 1-10,14-17 of Silent Spring. You should be able to comment on Carson's credibility and rhetoric, benefits and harms of pesticides, indiscriminate use, and possibly also health risks (cancer) and insecticide resistance.
