Description
In 1962 Rachel Carson published her profound book Silent Spring, forever changing the way we look at our environment. Several previous best sellers - Under the Sea Wind, The Sea Around Us, and The Edge of the Sea - had established her as an authority who could share her love for nature with the rest of us, translating cold, scientific facts into compelling and inspiring reading. Questioning man's relationship with the earth, at a time when pesticides and other toxic substances were beginning to make life easier, was a Herculean task for this studious, gentle writer. But her slingshot found its mark irrevocably and Carson's legacy lives on. Rachel Carson: Voice for the Earth is a chance to go behind the scenes of her legendary books, and learn more about the woman, scholar, author, devoted daughter, and friend.
