Table of ContentsReviewsAuthor InformationRachel Carson (1907-1964) was an American marine biologist, conservationist, and writer, best known for her seminal work Silent Spring (1962), which helped launch the global environmental movement. Born in Springdale, Pennsylvania, she developed a passion for nature early on, which led her to pursue a career in science. After earning a master's degree in zoology from Johns Hopkins University, Carson worked for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, where she wrote on marine biology and the environment. Her writing combined scientific rigor with poetic prose, making complex ecological issues accessible to the general public. Carson's work on the dangers of pesticides, particularly DDT, sparked widespread public concern and eventually led to policy changes in environmental protection. Despite facing intense criticism from the chemical industry, Carson's legacy as a pioneering environmental advocate endures. David R.
