I got the Jeopardy clue of the day! "1960s Science Books" and I didn't look it up!

I won't tell and be a spoiler. Here is the clue:

Keats' line "The sedge is withered from the lake, and no Birds sing" inspired the title of this groundbreaking book

Of course, I read the book but it was way back when.

Really proud of myself today!
