Brilliant read This was a really well written book, the plot was wonderful and the characters were fantastic. In a bizzare story line that I am not going to try to summarize because it is too complicated, he gets caught up in events in which his wife and mistress may or may not have been kidnapped, his sister-in-law and others m This was one complicated story. The attempt to get you to buy the next one is too obvious and it makes the last page resemble a choose-your-own-adventure novel. The story line was contrived. Widely known for her best-seller, Silent Spring , Carson is often perceived today as a solitary "great woman" whose work single-handedly launched a modern environmental movement. There, it is clear that far from being saved, Rachel has been made a doomed creature for the fulfillment of Creed's weird fantasies and Sam a pathitic bystander. But has her warning been heeded?

Commitment seemed to be lacking for his friends, and even his sister to make. For Carrie, she has taken April and her baby in to live with her, and more often then not, no sign of April.
She loved Ella, but this juggling act with the baby and her students. Now, she needed to start the paper work for foster care, to get Ella. A delightful family story, of stepping up, and taking responsibility. One person found this helpful 2 people found this helpful. This was such a sweet story and I loved the adorable little girl.

I highly recommend this book. One person found this helpful. William Souder also writes sensitively of Carson's romantic friendship with Dorothy Freeman, and of Carson's death from cancer in This extraordinary new biography captures the essence of one of the great reformers of the twentieth century. Silent Spring is a watershed moment in the history of environmentalism, credited with launching the modern environmental movement. In synthesizing a jumble of scientific and medical information into a coherent argument, Carson successfully challenged major chemical industries and the idea that modern societies could and should exert mastery over nature at any cost.
Her critique remains salient today. This book provides the first in-depth analysis, contextualisation and overview of Silent Spring , a critical work in the history of environmentalism, surveying its lasting impact on the environmentalist movement in the last fifty years. Musil redefines the achievements and legacy of environmental pioneer and scientist Rachel Carson, linking her work to a wide network of American women activists and writers and introducing her to a new, contemporary audience.
Rachel Carson was the first American to combine two longstanding but separate strands of American environmentalism—the love of nature and a concern for human health. Widely known for her best-seller, Silent Spring , Carson is often perceived today as a solitary "great woman" whose work single-handedly launched a modern environmental movement. Yet, for the sake of "controlling" all kinds of insects, fungi and weed plants, people today are being poisoned on a scale that the infamous Borgias never dreamed of.
Cancer-inducing chemicals-remain as residues in virtually everything we eat or drink. A continuation of present programs that use poisonous chemicals will soon exterminate much of our wild life and man as well. So claims Rachel Carson in her provocative new book, Silent Spring.
Briggs , Carson's friend, spent years as Director of the Rachel Carson.
The book chronicles the development of the endocrine disruptor hypothesis by Colborn. Though written for the popular press in narrative form, the book contains a substantial amount of scientific evidence. A foreword from then Vice President Al Gore increased the book's visibility. It ultimately influenced government policy through congressional hearings and helped foster the development of a research and regulation initiative within the EPA. Quick Fall of Light is a novel about a bird flu pandemic, a woman and an "extinct" bird who are caught in its deadly approach, and the extraordinary relationship between them.
The bird in the story is America's passenger pigeon, historically extinct for almost years. It is here where the story begins, and the mystery of the bird's survival becomes the key to saving mankind. I've been told the premise is profound and moving with advance praise from writers and naturalists, including Sy Montgomery, Jeffrey Masson, and Rachel Carson's biographer, Linda Lear. Highly recommended for readers who've considered the probabilities of a biotechnical disaster up against the unpredictable turns of nature--this time a spellbinding bird.
I hope you find it an interesting, inspiring read. The first edition of Living Downstream -- an exquisite blend of precise science and engaging narrative -- set a new standard for scientific writing. Poet, biologist, and cancer survivor, Steingraber uses all three kinds of experience to investigate the links between cancer and environmental toxins. The updated science in this exciting new edition strengthens the case for banning poisons now pervasive in our air, our food, and our bodies.
Because synthetic chemicals linked to cancer come mostly from petroleum and coal, Steingraber shows that investing in green energy also helps prevent cancer. Saving the planet becomes a matter of saving ourselves and an issue of human rights. A documentary film based on the book will coincide with publication. Praised for its ability to kill insects effectively and cheaply and reviled as an ecological hazard, DDT continues to engender passion across the political spectrum as one of the world's most controversial chemical pesticides.
In DDT and the American Century , David Kinkela chronicles the use of DDT around the world from to the present with a particular focus on the United States, which has played a critical role in encouraging the global use of the pesticide. The banning of DDT in the United States in is generally regarded as a signal triumph for the American environmental movement. Yet DDT's function as a tool of U. The varying ways in which scientists, philanthropic foundations, corporations, national governments, and transnational institutions assessed and adjudicated the balance of risks and benefits of DDT within and beyond America's borders, Kinkela argues, demonstrates the gap that existed between global and U.
DDT and the American Century offers a unique approach to understanding modern environmentalism in a global context. As Bob Hines imbued his wildlife subjects with vitality in his artwork, John D. Juriga brings life to Hines's remarkable talent and career in his captivating biography, Bob Hines: Hines, a gifted self-taught artist, found his calling during the darkness of the Great Depression, turning to art as a means of sharing the richness in nature's beauty.
His career brought him from designing the Federal Duck Stamp to joining the US Fish and Wildlife Service where he managed the competition for over thirty years, earning him the nickname of "Mr.
Celebrating the centennial of Hines's birth, this richly illustrated volume will appeal to wildlife enthusiasts and Duck Stamp collectors alike, as well as those interested in the history of conservation in the United States. The book traces Conor Jameson's travels in search of the Goshawk, a magnificent yet rarely seen in Britain at least raptor. Each episode of the narrative arises from personal experience, investigation, and the unearthing of information from research, exploration and conversations. The journey takes him from an encounter with a stuffed Goshawk in a glass case, through travels into supposed Goshawk territories in Britain, to Berlin -- where he finds the bird at ease in the city.
Why, he wants to know, is the bird so rarely seen in Britain? He explores the politics of birdwatching, the sport of falconry and the impact of persecution on the recent history of the bird in Britain and travels the length of Britain, through central Europe and the USA in search of answers to the goshawk mystery. Throughout his journey he is inspired by the writings of T H White who told of his attempts to tame a Goshawk in his much-loved book.
Thousands of ravenous tiny shorebirds race along the water's edge of Delaware Bay, feasting on pin-sized horseshoe-crab eggs. Fueled by millions of eggs, the migrating red knots fly on. When they arrive at last in their arctic breeding grounds, they will have completed a near-miraculous 9,mile journey that began in Tierra del Fuego.
Deborah Cramer followed these knots, whose numbers have declined by 75 percent, on their extraordinary odyssey from one end of the earth to the other—from an isolated beach at the tip of South America all the way to the icy tundra. In her firsthand account, she explores how diminishing a single stopover can compromise the birds' entire journey, and how the loss of horseshoe crabs—ancient animals that come ashore but once a year—threatens not only the survival of red knots but also human well-being: Cramer offers unique insight into how, on an increasingly fragile and congested shore, the lives of red knots, horseshoe crabs, and humans are intertwined.
She eloquently portrays the tenacity of small birds and the courage of many people who, bird by bird and beach by beach, keep red knots flying. Aug 25, Nati rated it really liked it. A good love story about what really matters in life, love, family, friends and happiness.

After a stupid mistake leads to being fired, Iris Holder decides to run home to the family seat on an island in Northern Lake Michigan.
She has been away for twelve years and literally falls into the arms of her first love David Jenkins when she gets off of the ferry on a rainy day.
