Anyone read this? Getting so hyped for LP9 that it's spilling into my reading log. What did you think of it? It reminds me a lot about a New Yorker article I read a few months ago, the best one I ever read, about Tyrone Hayes taking on Syngenta i/r/t the dangers of the pesticide atrazine and being crushed in terms of academic credibility by the multinational corporation. If you guys haven't read it, you should google it.
i liked it well enough and enjoy studying Western conceptions of wilderness, so it's worthwhile as part of that world.
it does get boring though, she rehashes that chemicals can spread from one medium to another in every chapter.
>if they get in the soil they can get in the water and into animals! if they get into the sky they get into clouds and get into rain and into animals! if they get into this body of water they can get into that body of water!
it's tiresome
I remember finding a website with a death counter numbering how many people across the world have died as an indirect result of Rachel Carson's book. I can't remember where I saw it but it made me laugh due to the irony of the whole thing.

more would have died if it weren't for the book due to ecological collapse
