Books such as The Sea Around Us made Rachel Carson famous as a naturalist and science writer. Then, after World War II, Carson began to warn the public about the long- term effects of misusing pesticides. Her classic Silent Spring challenged widespread practices and drew attacks from the chemical industry. Yet this courageous woman continued to call for policies to protect human health and the environment. This dramatic biography will inspire new generations to carry on Carson's pioneering work.
