Surajit... atish is a typo... atashi is it... sorry except for a couple of books on occultism and spiritualism, dr doyle wrote fantasies/imaginatory stories.... jules verne: total fantasy, and feluda ... too... but SILENT SPRING is altogether reality, and horrific reality at that... nothing fantasy based there all reported in scientific peer reviewed journals were digested and story put together by ms carson...
so its off copyright ... available in ebook downloads... good... now read it ... it would be a slow going... because now we know the results of those poisonings in greatee details than we did in 1960s.... happy reading, i wish i could say... but this book is a textbook or almost a textbook in many many environmental degree courses ... usha di On Tue, Jun 12, 2012 at 9:14 PM, surajit koley < [email protected]> wrote: > Good evening Usha Di... > > I often wonder how a few person become bookworms and memorize everything > they learn.
