  11. Farmhouse arrest – an illustration from Busy Bee and the Silent Spring

    In Busy Bee and the Silent Spring all the creatures of Old Oak Meadow are feeling unwell. Something must be making them sick. They discover that the problem is coming from a farm next door to the meadow.

    In this final illustration the bad farmer from the farm adjoining Old Oak Meadow has been arrested. This story is written for the 8-12 year old reader but a number of adults have also enjoyed reading it.

    Some teachers thought that there is enough in the story to form the basis for a whole curriculum of outdoor and nature learning and all wrapped up in a story, children will love. The thing they liked best is the multitude of topics covered, all which are such important starting points for vital conversations with young people. The book has also been well received with the Scottish Beekeepers Association putting a copy of it along with the first book, Busy Bee and the Endangered Meadow, in their Edinburgh library.

    The story is available as an ebook or in printed form globally on different Amazon websites and here are a couple of links https://www.amazon.co.uk/Busy-Silent-Spring-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B088JFN1ZV/ and https://www.amazon.com/Busy-Silent-Spring-Paul-No%C3%ABl/dp/B088JFN1ZV/.

    There are also T-shirts and long sleeve T-shirts available for children of the wonderful cover artwork by Alice Wright with or without the book title, https://scientistandphilosopher.com/collection/kids/.

  12. Silent Spring
    Vor ein paar Tagen bin ich von einer Reise nach Bosnien-Herzegowina und Kroatien zurückgekommen. Ich verbinde viele Erinnerungen an diese Länder. Mein Vater ist Banatdeutscher, und in meiner Kindheit waren wir jeden Sommer da. Mein Vater liebte den Balkan, konnte dort serbo-kroatisch (sagt man heute nicht mehr) sprechen.
    In 10 Tagen habe ich dort eine einzige Eidechse gesehen. Früher huschten sie bei Schritt und Tritt über die Steine, überall raschelte es. Wenn man sich hinsetzen wollte, musste man immer sehr aufpassen, weil es von Ameisen wimmelte. Unter den Pinien und Zypressen schrillten die Zikaden manchmal ohrenbetäubend.
    Am letzten Tag der Reise saß ich für einen Nachmittag im Schatten der Pinien auf der Insel Lokrum, vor Dubrovnik. Keine Eidechse, keine Ameisen, keine Zikade. Nur ein einsamer Käfer und die Schreie der Inselpfauen.
    Die Stille war bedrückend. Geräusche sind so eng mit Orten und Erinnerungen verbunden ... diesmal war es fast wie in einem Stummfilm..
    Meine kurze Recherche hat den Einbruch der Tierpopulationen an der Adria leider bestätigt.

    Rachel Carson's book indicting the pesticide industry, Silent Spring, was published.

    The scientist (17 years with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) and writer demonstrated the connection between the excessive and ubiquitous use of DDT and its long-term effect on plants and animals.

    The impact of her book proved seminal to a new ecological awareness. But even 30 years later, Carson was denounced for “preservationist hysteria” and “bad science.” But she had said when the book was published: "We do not ask that all chemicals be abandoned. We ask moderation. We ask the use of other methods less harmful to our environment."

    #RachelCarson #SilentSpring

  30. September 27, 1962

    Rachel Carson's book indicting the pesticide industry, Silent Spring, was published.

    The scientist (17 years with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) and writer demonstrated the connection between the excessive and ubiquitous use of DDT and its long-term effect on plants and animals.

    The impact of her book proved seminal to a new ecological awareness. But even 30 years later, Carson was denounced for “preservationist hysteria” and “bad science.” But she had said when the book was published: "We do not ask that all chemicals be abandoned. We ask moderation. We ask the use of other methods less harmful to our environment."
