"The book's core message- that over-reliance on a particular pest-control strategy could have adverse environmental effects."

Silent Spring
I had this same question lol. It's "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson
In response to the 1962 publication of Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring," Congress began to take environmental concerns more seriously, leading to increased scrutiny of pesticide use and its impact on the environment. The book sparked public awareness about the dangers of chemical pollutants, prompting hearings and discussions on environmental regulation. This ultimately contributed to the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1970 and the passage of significant environmental legislation, such as the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act. Carson's work is often credited with launching the modern environmental movement in the United States.
Rachel Carson's ideas were opposed primarily by those in the agricultural industry, chemical companies, and some government officials who felt that her book "Silent Spring" was alarmist and exaggerated the environmental dangers of pesticides like DDT. They were concerned that her work would lead to bans on these chemicals, which would have financial implications for their industries. Additionally, some people believed that her ideas threatened the progress of modern agriculture and economic development.
yes, at first, no one wanted to publish silent spring because it was against DDT.

Rachel Carson's problem was the environmental damage caused by indiscriminate pesticide use, particularly DDT. She raised awareness about the harmful effects of pesticides on ecosystems and human health through her book "Silent Spring," which led to the eventual ban of DDT and sparked the modern environmental movement.
