Reviews for Lost Woods: The Discovered Writing of Rachel Carson

Lyric, descriptive, informative, and moving.--Bill Sharp, The New York Times Book Review [Lost Woods] gives a new generation an opportunity to rediscover the legendary biologist and ecologist. . . . These writings-essays, letters, magazine pieces, speeches-show us the evolution of a decent woman from scholar to warrior for all that's right.--Carolyn See, The Washington Post This wonderful new book allows us to discover and learn anew from the scientist who taught ecology to the world. -San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle Lear unveils in Carson's own words how she developed as a scientist and a writer, uniting science and literature to create works that still resonate today.--Elizabeth Abbott, Toronto Globe and Mail What comes across most profoundly here is Carson's innate understanding-spiritual as much as scientific-of the connectedness of all living things, and her ability to describe complicated concepts in phrases that sing. . . . Read this book.--Bruce Mirken, Pacific Sun
