READING DRILL 1 The First Environmentalist Rachel Carson Rachel Louise Carson received her degrees in marine biology from the Pennsylvania College for Women and in zoology from the Johns Hopkins University. Her true calling turned out to be much broader in range than the academic study of wildlife however. As Carson s career as a scientific writer progressed she became interested in the effects of artificial chemicals on the natural environment. Through her published research she was the first to direct public attention to the environmental damage caused by the indiscriminate use of pesticides in agriculture. She is thus regarded as the public figure who launched the environmentalist movement. Upon enrolling in college. Carson had initially intended to major in English and become a journalist or novelist. Her attentiveness to presentation allowed her to convey even rather dry facts in an evocative prose style that held the attention of the general reader. Wedded to her extensive academic training in biology Carson s talent for expressive writing positioned her ideally to bring scientific findings about ecology to a mass audience. She published a famous trilogy about the delicate and complex ecology of the sea beginning with Under the Sea-Wind. That first volume took a large-scale approach describing the living systems of the ocean in everyday easily understood terms. Under the Sea-Wind was only a moderate commercial success but it. along with Carson s writings for the United States Fish and Wildlife Service set the stage for her second volume published ten years after the first. .
