　　For environmentally critical times, Courage for the Earth is a

centennial appreciation of Rachel Carson's brave life and

transformative writing Rachel Carson's lyrical, popular books about

the sea, including her best-selling The Sea Around Us, set a

standard for nature writing. By the late 1950s, Carson was the most

respected science writer in America. She completed Silent Spring

(1962) against formidable personal odds, and with it shaped a

powerful social movement that has altered the course of history. In

Silent Spring, Carson asserted that "the right of the citizen to be

secure in his own home against the intrusion of poisons applied by

other persons" must surely be a basic human right. She was the

first to challenge the moral vacuity of a government that refused

to take responsibility for or to acknowledge evidence of

environmental damage. In this volume, today's foremost scientists

and writers give compelling evidence that Carson's transformative

insights -- her courage for the earth -- are giving a new

generation of activists the inspiration they need to move

consumers, industry, and government to action. Contributors include

John Elder, Al Gore, John Hay, Freeman House, Linda Lear, Robert

Michael Pyle, Janisse Ray, Sandra Steingraber, Terry Tempest

Williams, and E. O. Wilson
