Boston, Houghton Mifflin, 1970. Years after the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, Frank Graham looked at the controversy it engendered and the difference that it made (and did not make). This copy is inscribed by Graham to Roland Clement in the month before publication: "To Roland Clement - who will find so much of himself in this book - many thanks and best wishes/ Frank Graham, Jr./ January 1970." Clement is mentioned on nearly a dozen pages in the book, and much-quoted, as a biologist and conservationist, and as Vice President of the National Audubon Society. He was an ardent supporter of Carson and her work to ban DDT: he testified with her before the Senate Committee on Commerce in 1963. Fine in a very good, moderately edgeworn dust jacket with a few small tape mends on the verso. [#035311] SOLD
