Rachel Carson

Working Area As a marine biologist, writer, and future interpreter, Rachel wrote three articles on the ocean and a number of articles on the ocean, and the last book, Silent Spring, she remembers. This book was not essentially Crusaders, but when the aerial DDT killed birds in a friend's bird reserve, she began to investigate the effects of pesticides on the life chain. Silent springs provide a real and cold warning that the chemicals we use for pesticides create more problems than we want to solve.
