Rachel Carson (1907 1964) spent most of her professional life as a marine biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By the late 1950s, she had written three lyrical, popular books about the sea, including the best- selling The Sea Around Us, and had become the Bee Plumber 76: most respected science writer in America.
