Rachel Carson (1907-1964)
"Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life"
As a scientist and writer, Carson taught people to care for nature: she pointed out the beauty and intricacy of the butterfly, the awesome force and purity of the sea, the economy and grace of the oak tree … and saw love, rather than guilt, as a key to transforming humanity’s relationship to nature.
Her book Silent Spring (1962) which criticised pesticides caused an outrage. Its influence was critical on the nascent environmental movement, and the controlling and banning of DDT.
