Few people have had as great an impact on the modern environmental movement as has the great writer and scientist Rachel Carson. This readable and up-to-date biography traces the famous environmentalist's development as a writer from earliest childhood through the publication of her best-known work, Silent Spring (1962). In this absorbing account of her life, Carson emerges as a talented scientist and exceptional writer who shared her sense of wonder about nature with both scientists and the general public. In the wake of the one hundredth anniversary of Carson's birth in 2007, this fascinating story concludes with an assessment of Rachel Carson's legacy as a writer and a champion of the environmental movement. The author also addresses the lingering controversies regarding the use of pesticides as well as continuing criticisms of Carson's ideas.

As a child growing up in Detroit, Ben Carson had a dream of becoming a physician, a dream that rose out of struggles with poverty, racism, and poor grades.

The first surgeon to successfully separate twins joined at the head, he directed pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital for over a quarter of a century. His life continues to be a model of what it means to care deeply, serve brilliantly, and lead courageously (1951-).

Rachel Carson's Wonder-Filled World

Rachel Carson's Wonder-Filled World

Rachel Carson wasn’t always the Rachel Carson, renowned environmental activist. From her earliest years, Rachel had a passion for nature—to her, it was a fairyland, and she loved to write about her adventures and the creatures she saw. Encouraged by teachers, Rachel wanted nothing more than to study the ocean and its inhabitants. Though unable to finish her PhD due to financial constraints, Rachel found work in science and success as a nature writer. In the course of her work, Rachel learned about the harm caused by recently developed pesticides and chemicals that made their way into the environment. Desperate to protect nature for future generations even as her health declined, she penned the famous book Silent Spring —a call to action against the threat of the deadly chemicals. The book is anything but quiet, selling more than 2 million copies and leading directly to changes like the Clean Air Act of 1963 and the Clean Water Act of 1972. Kate Hannigan, the author of several award-winning children’s books, joins her talents with Katie Hickey, a longtime illustrator of popular picture book biographies, to bring the mother of the environmental movement to life for a new generation of readers.

We knew we were in trouble when we started getting calls from the neighbors saying Carson was at the top of the tallest tree on the street. He was 7 or 8 years old. At 10 he made a zipline out of the dog's tie out and leash then attempted to zip from the tree to the top of the playhouse, nearly hanging himself. He came out of the womb a natural athlete and risk taker. We were amazed by his ingenuity.Freshman year of high school he started experimenting with drugs like most teens do, however our boy had unlocked the door to addiction. As his drugs became harder he spiraled out of control with periods of abstinence followed by a few weeks of being on a "bender" until a crisis would end that cycle. Each time, we would think this is his "rock bottom", then it wasn't. We struggled with "Is this just the throws of adolescence or does he have a problem." By his Senior year he overdosed.Then starts the scramble to find some sort of rehabilitation that is longer, different and out of our area. How can we afford it? Insurance? Savings? Mortgage the house? What does recovery look like for a now 18 year old that can just walk away from wherever we send him?......Always Chasing Carson......

If Carson Parker Had a Marker is a very uplifting book. Carson Parker uses his marker in a powerful way to write notes and letters to encourage kindness. He even uses it to write a message on the tail of a kite telling his readers to BE THE CHANGE needed to make our world a better place. He also quotes Jennifer Dukes Lee in saying, "In a world where you can be anything, BE KIND " His hope is that "others would follow in his lead spreading words of kindness like a farmer scatters seed."

"John Lester's Pied Piper Principles are good. I have known John since the early days of Internet Marketing. In fact, he helped me fight off MLM scam artists on the old AOL MLM Forums. I've subscribed to his newsgroup for years and respect John's marketing wisdom highly. In fact, I have beat him about the head and shoulders to print it in Book format. In fact, I took his CDs and sent the MP3 files to my transcriptionist and am pushing him to get it edited now. WHY? Because it needs to be kept on hand every day as a quick reference on "How To Do Internet Marketing" or any Marketing for that matter. When he gets the book done it will be one of the few books that I sell on my MLM Consumer Protection website." -Rod Cook aka The MLM WatchDogHere's what John Vasey, a past student of John Carson Lester Jr, who has gone on to earn literally hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars with a well known financial services multi-affiliate marketing company, had to say about "The Best of the Best" in a testimonial he wrote over one of our gemSTARS-R-NICErs global email discussion lists in September of 1999: "I've spent 3 years studying Nicers and in the next rolling year I'm on track to earn a million dollars, crazy but true. Study, internalize the emails John Lester sent the other day The best I have ever written on sales and Marketing-They are absolutely priceless. Nicers has taught me more about sales and marketing than *any* course that I paid hundreds sometime thousands. John Lester is one of my all time heroes in life not just in sales and marketing but the values he teaches we will keep forever and you will hear the same testimony from the other *old timers* such as Tim, Peggy Hendricks etc Participating in the Nicers community is the greatest single thing I have ever done professionally. I say when you mention Nicers we literally should all bow our virtual heads." -John VaseyTo see a synopsis of John Carson Lester Jr's 947+ pages of testimonials click: https: //cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2655/4462/files/testimonials-all.pdf?4907960353687664496

A hair-raising biography of the hunter, scout, and adventurer, Kit Carson. Perfect for readers of Hampton Sides, Stephen Brennan and H. W. Brands. At seventeen Christopher "Kit" Carson left Kentucky and headed west. By the end of his life he had become a living legend, with dime novels exclaiming his accomplishments across the breadth of the country. But what was the truth behind these renowned stories and who was the real Kit Carson? Noel Gerson's fascinating biography uncovers the reality this extraordinary man, often proving more astounding than any of the novels. Kit Carson: Folk Hero and Man explores the tumultuous life of this man who was the archetypal frontiersman; travelling and trapping with famous mountain men like Jim Bridger, guiding John C. Fremont through the vast wilderness, and fighting against Confederate troops during the Civil War. Gerson also examines Carson's complex relations with the Native Americans tribes; acting honestly as a trader and agent and marrying a native woman, but also leading campaigns against them at various points in his life. "Quite a man, as this fast moving biography shows." Kirkus Reviews

Ciaran Carson

Ciaran Carson

Neal Alexander

Liverpool University Press
2010
sidottu
An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Ciaran Carson is one of the most challenging and inventive of contemporary Irish writers, exhibiting verbal brilliance, formal complexity, and intellectual daring across a remarkably varied body of work. This study considers the full range of his oeuvre, in poetry, prose, and translations, and discusses the major themes to which he returns, including: memory and history, narrative, language and translation, mapping, violence, and power. It argues that the singularity of Carson’s writing is to be found in his radical imaginative engagements with ideas of space and place. The city of Belfast, in particular, occupies a crucially important place in his texts, serving as an imaginative focal point around which his many other concerns are constellated. The city, in all its volatile mutability, is an abiding frame of reference and a reservoir of creative impetus for Carson’s imagination. Accordingly, the book adopts an interdisciplinary approach that draws upon geography, urbanism, and cultural theory as well as literary criticism. It provides both a stimulating and thorough introduction to Carson’s work, and a flexible critical framework for exploring literary representations of space.
