Pesticides and the perils of synecdoche in the history of science and environmental history
When the Environmental Protection Agency banned DDT late in 1972, environmentalists hailed the decision. Indeed, the DDT ban became a symbol of the power of environmental activism in America. Since the ban, several species that were decimated by the effects of DDT have significantly recovered, including bald eagles, peregrines, ospreys, and brown pelicans. Yet a careful reading of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring reveals DDT to be but one of hundred…
Insecticides, agriculture, and the Anthropocene
Over the course of the past century, agricultural chemists have developed insecticides from plants with phytotoxic properties ('botanical' insecticides) and a range of chemicals including heavy metals such as lead and arsenic, chlorinated hydrocarbons like DDT, and organophosphates like parathion. All of the synthetic insecticides carried profound unintended consequences for ecosystems and wildlife alike. In the process of knowledge and technolog…

Carter argues that …
