Rachel Carson: A Witness to Nature
Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring, published in 1962, did more than any other single publication to alert the world to the hazards of environmental poisoning and to inspire a powerful social movement that would alter the course of American history. This definitive, sweeping biography shows the origins of Carson’s fierce dedication to natural science- and tells the dramatic story of how Carson, already a famous nature writer, became a brilliant if reluctant reformer.
