And a lot of good. More good than bad in my opinion. Mankind has raped and violated the planet and we will likely die in our own filth because we were not more concerned and careful about how we dealt with nature.

P.S. DDT is only a minor issue in the age of the cosmos.

Oh and Ralph, I could care less about your degree particularly since you don't work in the field and are clearly biased on this issue.

This book was not, is not responsible for malaria. If DDT had not been banned, what other results would we have seen? Difficult to say, but I suspect worse that what happened. As always there are many ways to deal with issues. We as a species must learn to live as part of our environment without destroying it. This book and the environmental movement have brought that to light, but I see little chance that we will be able to pull out of the nose-dive while those like Ralph deny both the ravaging of the environment and global warming etc. etc. etc.
