saddest book of our time...

i read this in high school nearly 60 years ago and it made me an environmentalist for the rest of my life. More impactful today for all the predictions that have already come true. A must read for any teen especially. They need to know about the unavoidable devastation they will surely be facing now that we have and continue to ignore the incredibly accurate predictions laid out in this fine old book.
