It’s a long post, but it’s got great images and graphics, solid citations, and very few errors — go read Jack Doyle’s profile of Carson, featuring a solid and thorough discussion of the controversy over DDT.

Jack Doyle, “Power in the Pen, Silent Spring: 1962,”

Doyle is a good writer and his site is a great idea with wonderful execution, The Pop History Dig.
Short of Linda Lear’s biography of Carson, Doyle’s piece presents the facts squarely, with no axes grinding. (Steve Milloy, Rutledge Taylor, The Competitive Enterprise Institute, Roger Bate, Richard Tren, the astroturf group Africa Fighting Malaria, Anthony Watts, Jay Ambrose and Christopher Monckton, and other purveyors of anti-Carson and anti-science vitriol will not like Doyle’s piece and will claim it to be biased.)
