Rachel Carson (1907-64) American biologist and writer. 

Sent by Sharon from Michigan U.S.A.

Rachel Carson oli yhdysvaltalainen biologi, jonka tärkeimmän kirjan Äänetön kevät katsotaan usein käynnistäneen maailmanlaajuisen ympäristöliikkeen. Äänetön kevät toi julkiseen tietoisuuteen erityisesti DDT:n haittavaikutukset. Tämä johti DDT:n käytön kieltämiseen Yhdysvalloissa vuonna 1972. Wikipedia
