Rachel Carson
b. 5-27-1907; Pennsylvania
d. 4-14-1964

Poster Text: More than any other person, Rachel Carson helped make "ecology" a household word. She spent nearly fifteen years of her life working in obscurity for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. But the publication of her books "The Sea Around Us" and "Silent Spring," brought her immediate fame. ...Her first two books, "Under the Sea-Wind" and "The Sea Around Us," describe the oceans and the life they contain. But it was "Silent Spring," published in 1962, that made her famous. The book warned of the dangers of pesticides, which Ms. Carson discovered were killing fish and birds as well as insects. Some scientists said she exaggerated this danger. But most agreed that "Silent Spring" was both accurate and timely. The book lead directly to new laws regulating the use of pesticides, and it aroused millions to a new concern about humanity's growing impact on the natural environment around us.
