FORCE OF NATURE A Novel of Rachel Carson

In a steady passionate tone, narrator Kate Siegel chronicles the life of Rachel Carson, the writer and biologist who launched the global environmental movement. Even as a young child, Rachel appreciated nature and was drawn to writing. As she continued her studies, she found a passion for science. Siegel captures Rachel's determination and frustration as she attempts to join a field dominated by men and balance her family commitments at the same time. Musical interludes add whimsy throughout the narration. Both environmentalists and general listeners will cheer Rachel on as she works to make a difference amid difficult circumstances by sharing important scientific findings, particularly the devastating effects of the insecticide DDT upon birds.
