Pek çok insan muhtemelen bu kitabı sevmiyor ama bana dokundu ... Çok garip, aynı hikayeyi 3 kez ama farklı dönemlerde anlatıyor. Sonuncusu özellikle garip ve üzücü.

İnanılmaz. Daha önce Paris toplantısını daha önce hiç duymamış olduğuma inanamıyorum. Hikaye çok hareketli ve emiciydi. Tek sorun, ara sıra dilbilgisi hatası veya yanlış kullanılan kelimeydi. Ancak, yazar Fransızca İngilizce yazı yani her şey yolunda. Küçük hatalar hikayeden hiç uzaklaşmaz.

metamorpho needs to be in color. not the highlight of dc's comics in the 60s.

The book was highly education of course, filled with facts and information I never knew. It was interesting to read it and know of the regulations that now exist and to wonder how much stemmed from this book and others like it. I think, however, what I liked most about the book was the sense of present-ness that it has. Carson continually speaks of the earth in terms of a living entity with all the life that existence on it and how man is the one causing the imbalance and, basically, putting their foot in where it doesn't belong. Nature, she explains, has its own set of checks and balances and we are merely causing havoc (with pesticides) where there are alternatives available. This viewpoint, I feel, it relevant today with what we are doing to the earth especially in regards to global warming. I also love Carson and what she represents and how deeply she loved and cared for the earth and, in many ways, merely wanted to try and help it. She represents what I wish I could be environmentally speaking had I taken another path in life (one based more on science). I think those who are not "green" would not enjoy it and could easily find Carson's ornate language tedious and misplaced. I, however, appreciated it because of the fact that it highlights her concerns and devotion to this problem and to nature. It makes the book more real to me and makes her want to see changes more heartfelt. One of my greatest regrets with the book is that she doesn't have the footnotes in the text or doesn't make the end notes even though she has the research in the back. But, overall, if anyone is interested in this subject or just wants to read about what the hell we did to ourselves back in the 1940-1960's I highly recommend it. More enjoyable than a text book and makes you think more.

A Thousand Acres follows the fortunes of an Iowa farm family in the late 1970s, just as everything starts to fall apart for them. It is a riff on King Lear, so you know things will not end well, but that does not make the drama any less compelling.
