In 1982 Rachel Smolker traveled to Australia where she'd heard that wild dolphins regularly interacted with people. Her trip started a fifteen-year scientific obsession that has produced an intimate account of dolphin life in the wild.
In her biography, Rachel Carson emerges as a talented scientist and exceptional writer who shared her "sense of wonder" about nature with both scientists and the general public.
This book describes the early life, rise to prominence, struggles and accomplishments, and lasting influence of Rachel Carson, who laid the groundwork for the modern environmental movement with her book "Silent Spring.".
