5.0 out of 5 stars
A great book which should be read by everyone!,
By Jason Kerman (New York, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rachel Carson: Pioneer of Ecology (Women of Our Time) (Paperback)
I think that this book is very informative on what we are doing to our environment. This book tells about Rachel Carson's life, family, career, and more. It tells about how she fought to keep our environment clean and safe for everyone. She warned people in her book, Silent Spring, which can also be found here on Amazon.com. Well, I cannot spoil this book! What I can tell you is that this is a great book which you should read.
