Linda Lear is author of Rachel Carson- Witness for Nature. She lives in Bethesda, Maryland.
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
