"Rachel Carson birthed the modern environmental movements's awareness of the threat posed by chemicals in Silent Spring and for that the chemical companies did their best to destroy her. That was not the goal of her life. She was a marine biologist who didn't complete her PhD because she took care of family, as so many women must. Nevertheless, this book was her fourth to look at the sea. It will be beautiful." — Apr 26, 2026 09:07PM
