Rachel had a talent for writing and talking about science in a way that everyone could understand and enjoy. With her controversial book, Silent Sprint, Rachel Carson changed the way we look at our planet.
 
“Kudlinski has admirably captured the driving force of spirit of a shy but courageous woman in a succinct, respectful approach.”—Booklist
