About Author
Rachel Carson was an influential American marine biologist, environmentalist, and writer. She is best known for her 1962 book "Silent Spring," which is credited with advancing the global environmental movement. In "Silent Spring," Carson challenged the practices of agricultural scientists and the government, calling for a change in the way humankind viewed the natural world, particularly criticizing the indiscriminate use of synthetic pesticides. Her work had a profound impact on the public's awareness of environmental issues and led to changes in policies and regulations concerning the use of chemicals.
