Rachel Carson: Silent Spring & Other Environmental Writings
Rachel Carson
The Library of America
2018
sidottu
The book that sparked the modern environmental movement, with an unprecedented collection of letters, speeches, and other writings that reveal the extraordinary courage and vision of its author Library of America launches its Rachel Carson edition with this deluxe illustrated volume presenting one of the landmark books of the twentieth century together with rare letters, speeches, and other writings that reveal the personal courage and passionate commitment of its author. A huge bestseller when published in September 1962, Silent Spring led not only to many of the laws and government agencies that protect our air, land, and water, but prompted a revolution in environmental consciousness. Now for the first time, in previously unpublished and newly collected letters to biochemists, ecologists, cancer specialists, ornithologists, and other experts, Carson's groundbreaking expose of the unintended consequences of pesticide use comes together piece-by-piece, like a puzzle or detective story. She makes common cause with conservationists and other allies to build public awareness, hiding her private battle with cancer for fear it might distract from her message. And in the wake of her book's astonishing impact, as she becomes the target of an organized campaign of disinformation by the chemical industry, Carson speaks out in defense of her findings while remaining a model of grace under pressure. Throughout the collection, Carson's lifelong love of nature shines through. In writings both lyrical and intensely moving, she conveys her "sense of wonder" to her young nephew, dreams of conserving old-growth forest in Maine for posterity, and recounts her adventures and epiphanies as birdwatcher and beachcomber. A future companion volume will gather Carson's "sea trilogy": Under the Sea-Wind (1941), The Sea Around Us (1951), and The Edge of the Sea (1955). LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, and keeping permanently in print, America's best and most significant writing. The Library of America series includes more than 300 volumes to date, authoritative editions that average 1,000 pages in length, feature cloth covers, sewn bindings, and ribbon markers, and are printed on premium acid-free paper that will last for centuries.

Pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson explores the wonders of the Earth's oceans in these classics of American science and nature writing. Includes meticulously restored drawings from the original editions, including the nearly 200 illustrations by Bob Hines for The Edge of the Sea Rachel Carson is perhaps most famous as the author of Silent Spring, but she was first and foremost a "poet of the sea" and the three books collected in this deluxe Library of America volume are classics of American science and nature writing. Under the Sea-Wind (1941), Carson's lyrical debut, offers an intimate account of maritime ecology through the eyes of three of the ocean's denizens, the individual lives of sanderling, mackerel, and eel dramatically intertwined in the enduring ebb and flow of the tides. The Sea Around Us (1951)--a winner of the National Book Award--draws on a wealth of oceanographic, meteorological, biological, and historical research to present its subject on a grand, biospheric scale, revealing not only many mysteries of the still-unfathomed depths, but a reverence for the sea as a source of global climate and of life itself. Concluding Carson's "sea trilogy," The Edge of the Sea (1955) explores the habits of the many small creatures that live on shorelines and in tidepools accessible to any beachcomber: part identification guide, part hymn to ecological complexity, it is a book that conveys the "sense of wonder" in nature for which Carson is justly celebrated. At a moment when overfishing, pollution, and global warming are causing catastrophic changes to marine environments worldwide, Carson's lyrically detailed accounts of these environments offer a timely reminder of their beauty, fragility, and immense consequence for human life.

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.
Rachel is an attractive young woman with a deep desire to be diapered and dominated by a strong Daddy type. She has searched and found nothing but failures. Just when she's on the verge of giving up, she meets Allen. A Daddy that isn't afraid to punish her and teach her important lessons. After a trial weekend of diapers, humiliation and punishment, are they right for each other? This story contains AB/DL(Adult Baby/Diaper Lover) themes, harsh punishments, bondage, spankings, paddlings, enemas, wet & messy diapers, public humiliation, sexual intercourse, and other extreme situations. Do not read this book if such themes are upsetting.
Every good witch needs a place to record here potions and spells. This is where Rachel records hers.
Sometimes the journey is as important as the destination.Katie Brown enjoys Eldercare, but knows it's a mistake to get involved when she could be transferred at any time, even with a guy as nice as Max. Still, with such an interesting patient as Granny, along with a loving church family nearby, this particular assignment has made it tough to stay indifferent.Then one day she hears of a missing manuscript, written by Granny's own mother decades ago. As an aspiring writer, Katie is fascinated, and sets out to find this piece of the family history.In her search she may find more than just an old story. She may find some answers for herself, too.............................................................................The story behind the Story: The author, Sherry Chamblee, is also the full-time caregiver for her husband's grandmother. His great-grandmother (Granny's mom - Rachel Clark Kennedy) was an aspiring author when she wasn't being a nurse. Back in the early 1900s she wrote books - lots of them. She had at least one full-length novel, wrapped and sealed and sent to herself in the mail. Since the family saw it last, they'd lost track of it. The author got it into her head to look for this manuscript.Back in February of this year (2014), we were looking for it (read 'searching frantically through an old shed') when we found a bin full of Granny's mother's things. In that bin was an old nurse's registration certificate belonging to Rachel Clark - Granny's mom. Paper-clipped to that certificate were several pages of typewriting paper - she'd written a short story, titled The Signal. Turns out it's about 3000 words long, but complete. The only complete story of hers that has been found, so far. The certificate is dated December 2, 1914. One hundred years ago. It's safe to assume the story paper-clipped to it was written in the same year, or very close to it. Her complete manuscript is included in 'Rachel's Story', just as she had it 100 years ago, in chapter 5, as it's being read to her own daughter.This is a very short story at only a little over 8,000 words. I have only edited the spelling in Rachel Clark's part of this story, so as to keep her unique voice throughout. This is why readers may find a few grammatical errors in Chapter 5, and/or outdated words. This part was indeed written one hundred years ago, and is still an unpolished work, though still very enjoyable to read as a unique piece of history.All proceeds from this book will go to help in the care of Rachel's daughter, my husband's grandmother.
