Carson, Rachel Louise

Carson, Rachel Louise,

1907–64, American writer and marine biologist, b. Springdale, Pa., M.A. Johns Hopkins, 1932. Her well-known books on sea life—Under the Sea-Wind (1941), The Sea around Us (1951), and The Edge of the Sea (1954)—combine keen scientific observation with rich poetic description. Her Silent Spring (1962), a provocative—and in some places flawed—study of the dangers of certain insecticides, is generally acknowledged as the impetus for the modern environmental movement.
