The
Reviewer's List:
The Ten Most
Influential Environmental Books of the 20th Century
The Reviewer, an Internet
book review site invited authors, journalists, scholars, and readers to
nominate books to a "Top Ten" list of environmental books of the 20th Century.
The survey was done in the late 1990s. Criteria included the influence that the book had on 1) environmentalists,
2) the masses, 3) the media, 4) policy makers; and 5) enviromental science
and research. To help keep the playing field level, nominators were asked
to include 50-100 word reviews along with the nominated book(s).
Amazingly, some 843 people responded.
The number one book, receiving
83% of the top votes, was Silent Spring by Rachel Carson.
The complete list is included
