A biography of the pioneering scientist and environmentalist, Rachel Carson, author of Silent Spring. "Once you are aware of the wonder and beauty of earth, you will want to learn about it," wrote Rachel Carson. Determined and curious even as a child, Rachel Carson's fascination with the natural world led her to study biology, and pursue a career in science at a time when very few women worked in the field. This lyrical, illustrated biography follows Carson's journey—from a girl exploring the woods, to a woman working to help support her family during the Great Depression, to a journalist and pioneering researcher, investigating and exposing the harmful effects of pesticide overuse. Best known for writing Silent Spring, Rachel Carson was a major figure in the early environmental movement, and her work brought a greater understanding of the impact humans have on our planet. Rachel Carson and Her Book That Changed the World offers a glimpse at the early life that shaped her interest in nature, and the way one person's determination can inspire others to fight for real change. An author's note delves into how Silent Spring helped shape the modern environmental movement and inspired a generation of readers to get involved in conservation. Detailed source notes and a list of recommended reading are included. A National Sciencce Teachers Association Outstanding Science Trade Book A Bank Street Best Children's Book of the Year

In Beautiful Naples, Florida . . . When a beautiful, young actress, Winner Demming, decides to throw a surprise engagement party at a theme-park resort in Orlando, she sets the stage for a mysterious stalker to strike. But who is the stalker really after? Winner? Her famous father, Heston Demming? Or someone else? When three action figures go missing from Winner's doll collection in Naples—and each turns up mutilated, accompanied by a threatening note, the danger mounts and intrigue follows. Who is the stalker? Is it Ezra Gold, the film director whose infatuation with Winner is no secret? Is it Winner's mysterious fiance, Damian Velasquez? Is it Adair Champlain, the handsome but strange billionaire producing Winner's new series pilot? Or is it someone closer to home? Join Winner and her entourage at the Southern Seas Resort in Orlando to find out whether Winner's childhood fantasy comes true: a proposal of marriage from a prince on one knee in front of her favorite theme-park's major attraction, the Enchanted Palace—and to find out whether her father, Heston, absent for years, reunites with his wife, Poppy. But don't be surprised if danger lurks just outside the castle walls. It may be Heston's undoing. "Complicated relationships add an undercurrent of complexity to Tina Murray's latest novel, a sun-drenched Florida romp filled with movie star glitz, a handful of attempted murders, and plenty of romance." —Jaden Terrell, Author of the internationally published Jared McKean mysteries
