Discover the previously uncollected works of Silent Spring author Rachel Carson--considered one of the best nature writers of the 20th century.

"Lyric, descriptive, informative, and moving." --The New York Times

When Rachel Carson died of cancer in 1964, her four books, including the environmental classic Silent Spring, had made her one of the most famous people in America. This anthology of previously uncollected writings is a priceless addition to our knowledge of Rachel Carson, her affinity with the natural world, and her life.

Featuring nature writing, speeches, field notebook passages, and letters, this collection is an invaluable insight to Carson's thought and philosophy and a treasure trove for environmentalists.

Industry Reviews

Lyric, descriptive, informative, and moving.--Bill Sharp, The New York Times Book Review

[Lost Woods] gives a new generation an opportunity to rediscover the legendary biologist and ecologist. . . . These writings-essays, letters, magazine pieces, speeches-show us the evolution of a decent woman from scholar to warrior for all that's right.--Carolyn See, The Washington Post

This wonderful new book allows us to discover and learn anew from the scientist who taught ecology to the world.
-San Francisco Examiner and Chronicle

Lear unveils in Carson's own words how she developed as a scientist and a writer, uniting science and literature to create works that still resonate today.--Elizabeth Abbott, Toronto Globe and Mail

What comes across most profoundly here is Carson's innate understanding-spiritual as much as scientific-of the connectedness of all living things, and her ability to describe complicated concepts in phrases that sing. . . . Read this book.--Bruce Mirken, Pacific Sun
