Rachel Carson was born on May 27,1907 in Pennsylvania.Her mother bequeathed her a deep love of nature and the living world that Rachel expressed first as a writer and later as a student of marine biology.Carson graduated from Pennsylvania College for Women in 1929 and studied at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory.She received her master’s degree in zoology from Johns Hopkins University in 1932.
She worked for the U.S.Bureau of Fisheries,writing radio scripts during the Depression(经济大萧条) to increase her income writing feature articles on natural history for the Baltimore Sun.She began a 15year career in the federal service as a scientist and editor in 1936 and rose to become EditorinChief of all publications for the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service.
She wrote books on conservation(保护) and natural resources and edited scientific articles,but in her free time turned her government research into prose(散文),first as an article Undersea(1937),and then in a book,Under the SeaWind(1941).In 1952 she published her prizewinning study of the ocean,The Sea Around Us,which was followed by The Edge of the Sea in 1955.These books made up a biography(传记) of the ocean and made Carson famous as a naturalist and science writer for the public.Carson resigned in 1952 to devote herself to her writing.
She wrote several other articles designed to teach people about the wonder and beauty of nature,including Help Your Child to Wonder(1956)and Our EverChanging Shore(1957),and planned another book on ecology.In Carson’s writing,she expressed her view that human beings were only part of nature.
