Rachel frequently touched on a theme most people associate with her last book, Silent Spring, which was not published until 1962. But ten years earlier at a ceremony awarding her the John Burroughs Medal, she warned:

Mankind has gone very far into an artificial world of his own creation. He has sought to insulate himself, in his cities of steel and concrete, from the realities of earth and water and the growing seed. Intoxicated with a sense of his own power, he seems to be going farther and farther into more experiments for the destruction of himself and his world.
