Aprašymas

This is the story of Rachel Carson, a brilliant writer, scientist, and conservationist known as "The Mother of Earth Day." From her childhood in the rolling hills and orchards of her family's farm to the first time she saw the sea as a student in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, Rachel always observed the sights and sounds of the world around her, sharing her love and knowledge of nature. And when she observed their absence, she took action--her groundbreaking books and political advocacy sparked the Environmental Movement and legislation such as the Endangered Species Act and the Environmental Defense Fund. Her work also provided the foundations of Earth Day.

Using a distinct storytelling device that focuses on the things Rachel hears, sees, and does to guide readers through different chapters of her life, What Rachel Heard is an upbeat and inspiring call to observe, listen, and create actionable change.
