《寂静的春天》是美国科普作家蕾切尔·卡逊创作的科普读物，首次出版于1962年。
在这本书中，卡逊以生动而严肃的笔触，描写因过度使用化学药品和肥料而导致环境污染、生态破坏，最终给人类带来不堪重负的灾难，阐述了农药对环境的污染，用生态学的原理分析了这些化学杀虫剂对人类赖以生存的生态系统带来的危害，指出人类用自己制造的毒药来提高农业产量，无异于饮鸩止渴，人类应该走“另外的路”。
该书将近代污染对生态的影响透彻地展示在读者面前，给予人类强有力的警示。作者在书中对农业科学家的科学实践活动和政府的政策提出挑战，并号召人们迅速改变对自然世界的看法和观点，呼吁人们认真思考人类社会的发展问题。另外，她记录了工业文明所带来的诸多负面影响，直接推动了日后现代环保主义的发展。

Publisher's Summary
First published in 1962, Silent Spring can single-handedly be credited with sounding the alarm and raising awareness of humankind's collective impact on its own future through chemical pollution. No other book has so strongly influenced the environmental conscience of Americans and the world at large.

Critic Reviews
"Silent Spring came as a cry in the wilderness, a deeply felt, thoroughly researched, and brilliantly written argument that changed the course of history." (Al Gore)
