"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

“Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.”
Aldous Huxley
