Remembering Rachel Carson

Wondering what is up with the Google home page graphic?  It is an homage to the late Rachel Carson who’s 107th birthday is being celebrated today.  I read her book “Silent Spring” in the 60’s and never looked back.

Here is biographical information on Rachel:

And this is a pdf of “Silent Spring” from Smith College:

We have much to thank her for.
