Introduction

Rachel Carson (1907 – 1964)

Marine Biologist • Writer • Environmentalist

Rachel Carson was a scientist, author and environmentalist whose book Silent Spring is credited with advancing the global environmental movement. This blog aims to study her life and works from a social science perspective. Through this research, I hope to draw lessons on how we can cultivate a love for nature in ourselves and the people around us that will move us into action to conserve the environment.
