68647 I think what's being entirely ignored here is Carson's advocacy for importing species to fight other species.
Her blind advocacy for this approach is disturbing at best and downright evil at worst.

The perfect example of pest control with predators gone deeply wrong, as another reviewer brought up, is the cane toad in Australia.

Carson seems to totally ignore the issue of invasive species. No, it doesn't seem that she does, she does totally ignore the issue of invasive species unless they are pests being killed with pesticides.

I'm not for pesticide use, but Carson's advocacy for a deeply ecologically flawed and potentially disastrous approach, with no acknowledgement of how disastrous this can be, is just wrong.

Also, most earth worms aren't native in North America (and are invasive) and their introduction deeply changed the ecology of American forests, something Carson never acknowledges.
