Carson, R. (2002). Silent spring. ProQuest Ebook Central https://ebookcentral.proquest.com In the discussion covering Weeks 6 and 7, we will explore current hot topics in the environmental sciences as they relate to the book you selected for class . The idea behind our “book club” style discussions is to engage with popular environmental themed literature, to identify and understand the science, and to reinforce our understanding of central themes in the environmental sciences. Your original post should relate to the book you selected in the Week 2 Book Selection assignment. Please select from one of the following topics: Topic Option
1. Ecosystem Services Topic Option
2. Global Environmental Change Topic Option
3. Emerging Issues Relate the book you are reading to the topic selected above. How is this topic addressed in the book?

How can you intersect the book you are reading with the scientific literature? Are there also stories in the popular media like news articles, blogs, or podcasts to share? Finally, what else do we need to know about this book? How can it inform a more sustainable future? I have included the book citation at the top.
