“THERE WAS ONCE a town in the heart of America where all life seemed to live in harmony with its surroundings.”
Biologist Rachel Louise Carson began her career with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service but achieved fame and social influence with publication of such popular books as The Sea Around Us (1951) and Silent Spring (1962). ([Source][1].) [1]: http://www.flickr.com/photos/smithsonian/3359709268/
