It is the tenth novel in this extraordinary series, which combines old-fashioned story-telling with 21st-century science and spirituality.

The Day Rachel Carson Invented Environmentalism
​
Rachel Carson was an eminent scientist and the foremost nature writer in the United States when she stumbled - or rather crashed - into the realization of what the indiscriminate use of insecticides and pesticides was doing to water systems, plants and animals, and ultimately the health of the American people. A soft-spoken and introverted person, Carson sacrificed a successful career to campaign against this short-sighted contamination of the earth, while she herself was dying of breast cancer. This book is a very personal look at the writer of Silent Spring - and an American heroine.
