Abstract
: On the occasion of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Silent Spring in 2012, several papers went through the book content and the controversy around it. In this work, these publications on Environmental History have been analysed. Our interest has been focused not only on the environmental problems arising from the misuse of DDT but also the controversies generated due to its misuse and the publication of the book itself. Nowadays, these controversies remain open.
