After graduating from Johns Hopkins University, Carson was somehow hired by the U.S Bureau of Fisheries and mostly wrote radio scripts for the government. For the next 15 years, she stayed in federal service and worked as a government official. Most people might think of Carson as a typical government official. But unlike most of her fellow officials, who were in fanatic pursuit of high places and positions, Carson never abandoned her childhood goal----to tell people about the beauty of nature. Instead of changing and adapting herself to the typical government environment, she remained the old Carson and never changed herself.
During her spare time, she turned her analytical and statistical data into lyric prose: first as an article Undersea,and then a bookUnder the sea-wind.In 1952,she published her prize-winning book The sea around us.At that point of her life, she made up her mind to resign from government service and devote herself to writing.
She published numerous books later on in life, most of which had a tremendous influence on how people viewed the world around them. In her writings, Carson led the world to appreciate the beauty and integrity of nature ,rendering people realize that human is only a vulnerable part of the fragile environment, and that the only power human had is the one to alter the world, sometimes in an irreversible way. Through her writings, Rachel Carson made invaluable contributions, inspiring generations of people to relish and protect the natural world.
