This book takes an engaging look at the work of ground-breaking conservationist, Rachel Carson, and her work to uncover the dangers of pesticides. It covers Carson's inspiration, her methods, findings, and the impact of her work on the environment movement.
This was a very informative read for my daughters Scientist of the Month featuring the remarkable Rachel Carson. We had read several other books but I noticed this one provided the largest quantity of additional information for her scientist summary paper. The layout is done well with lovely photographs, interesting facts highlighted in the margins, quotes and a detailed timeline.
