The saxophone was invented in the 1840s by Adolphe Sax, a Belgian musician and instrument maker. Sax noticed that brass instruments often drowned out the woodwinds, creating an unevenness in sound and tone. Sax's solution was to create an instrument that would integrate parts of both woodwinds and brass instruments. Namely, his new instrument, the saxophone, joined a brass-like body with a woodwind-like mouthpiece. It was suitable for both orchestras and military bands, making it a good choice for musicians and composers. The saxophone has grown in popularity over time and is now played around the world.

Published in 1962, Rachel Carson's Silent Spring began a national debate that changed Americans' attitudes toward the environment. Carson, originally a marine biologist, had begun noticing the adverse effects of pesticides on various ecosystems. In her book, she documents the effects of DDT, a pesticide that was then popular for agricultural use. In the environment, Carson noted the collapse of food chains and the decline of bird, fish, and other animal populations; in humans, effects of DDT include a higher risk of cancer and other illnesses.
The book's central claim—that widespread pesticide use was the cause of significant harm to human health and to the environment—was highly controversial. Conservationists, taking the book's message to heart, succeeded in banning the use of DDT in the United States in 1972. Others, however, pushed back against Carson's claims. Proponents of DDT usage pointed to the pesticide as a cost-effective means of controlling mosquito populations in parts of the world with high malaria rates. Still, Silent Spring ushered in an era of greater awareness, leading people to start thinking more carefully about the environmental impact of chemical products.
