Product Description:

The Hill and Wang Critical Issues Series: concise, affordable works on pivotal topics in American history, society, and politics. "The Green Revolution" documents the tremendous change in public awareness and attitudes since the publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring."

And he shows how environmental concerns affect all levels of society and much of our government's legislative and regulatory work.
