Non-Fiction Memoir
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, long-overdue biography shows how
Carson, already a famous nature writer, became a reluctant
reformer. It is a compelling portrait of the determined
woman behind the publicly shy but brilliant scientist and
writer.
