Rachel Carson, what an extraordinary woman! She was the first woman to be a official scientist for the government. She had a knack for writing, but in college she decided to be a scientist. She was against the use of pesticides, and wanted to put a stop to it. That was when she wrote "Silent Spring" an article telling how everyone would die from the poisoning from DDT, and how there would be no birds to hear when spring comes. the article was very touching, but sadly Rachel Carson did not live to see it published. on April 4, 1964 Rachel Carson's life was taken by cancer. She did not get to hear the chirping of the birds that spring. Rachel Carson had a very silent spring. It was a very sorrowful year for us all, but the end as they say is a new beginning. I usually don't like nonfiction but this book was very well written from start to finish.
