Ever read a book and wanted to share your thoughts on it with others? Join us in this second edition of the IMHO series moderated by Cheong Suk-Wai, featuring a discussion on the book Silent Spring by Rachel Carson. A watershed moment in the environmental movement, Silent Spring documents the adverse effects of the indiscriminate use of pesticides, accusing the chemical industry of spreading disinformation and public officials of accepting industry claims unquestioningly. As the environment becomes a key player on the global political stage, this session of IMHO returns to the text that started it all. About IMHOIMHO is a meeting place of ideas and discussion for the vast body of international non-fiction writing, whose ideas and problems has shaped the modern world since the beginning of the 20th century. Each session examines one seminal non-fiction work and will be moderated by Cheong Suk-Wai. About Cheong Suk-WaiCheong Suk-Wai has been a lawyer and journalist for more than 20 years, and a writer of prose, poems and songs for even longer than that.
