    Lost Woods (eBook, ePUB)
    'The subject of man's relationship to his environment is one that has been uppermost in my own thoughts for many years.' Rachel Carson's enduring fame was secured by the publication of just four books: her trilogy about the sea and Silent Spring. This collection of her previously unpublished and lesser-known writing gives a more personal picture of Carson's evolution as an environmental thinker. Here are both her public and private voice, bringing together youthful writing, essays, field journals, speeches, articles and letters. Lost Woods reveals her developing awareness of the fragility of the natural world and our impact on it, and of her campaign, ultimately successful, to bring international attention to the breadth of the challenges facing us. That we are finally becoming aware of the environmental emergency is thanks in no small part to Carson's prescient call to alarm.

    Kit Carson and His Three Wives: A Family History: Calvin P. Horn Lectures in Western History and Culture , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 377min
    Kit Carson (1809-1868) has long held a prominent place in the popular imagination of the American West. However, little is known about his family life, thanks largely to Carson's own guardianship of his privacy. After almost four decades devoted to researching Kit Carson's personal life, Marc Simmons provides information here to further our understanding of Carson. Viewing Kit Carson's career as a husband and father sheds new light on the life choices he made. The changing economy of the 1840s made it increasingly difficult for a trapper and scout to support a growing family. Carson's years as an Indian agent in the 1850s provided him stability, although he was never able to spend as much time with his family as any of them would have liked and he was never able to bring in a comfortable income. This audiobook offers a welcome change from recent politicized interpretations of Carson's actions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirk O. Winkler.

    Johnny Carson: The Inspirational Life Story of Johnny Carson: Comedian, Magician, and King of the Late Night Talk Show , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 30min
    In this book, you will learn about the life of Johnny Carson. You will discover the path he took to fulfill his personal destiny. The story of this man's life will teach you that you have the ability to create the life you want if you work hard and stay focused. During the short history of television, there has only been one man who will be remembered as being king of the late night talk show. This man's name was Johnny Carson and he was best remembered for his role as the host of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Johnny appeared on a variety of other shows, but none of them ever reached the level of popularity like The Tonight Show did. Johnny was able to relate to the average American very well. His Midwestern upbringing was very modest and this could explain his ability to stay humble even though he was a famous celebrity. He was very smart and he took time out to stay educated about American politics and current events around the world. While Johnny usually took a less-accepted liberal or progressive stance on many issues, the majority of the average people would still agree with him and manage to see his point of view. Here is a preview of what you'll learn: Johnny Carson's Midwestern Childhood Johnny Carson Joins The US Navy Johnny Carson's Career Before The Tonight Show Johnny Carson And Magic Johnny Carson As The host Of The Tonight Show Johnny Carson's Favorite Characters Johnny Carson's Death Johnny Carson Quotes ungekürzt.

    Silent Spring (eBook, ePUB)
    Now recognized as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century, Silent Spring exposed the destruction of wildlife through the widespread use of pesticides Rachel Carson's Silent Spring alerted a large audience to the environmental and human dangers of pesticides, spurring revolutionary changes in the laws affecting our air, land, and water. Despite condemnation in the press and heavy-handed attempts by the chemical industry to ban the book, Carson succeeded in creating a new public awareness of the environment which led to changes in government and inspired the ecological movement. It is thanks to this book, and the help of many environmentalists, that harmful pesticides such as DDT were banned from use in the US and countries around the world.This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Lord Shackleton, a preface by World Wildlife Fund founder Julian Huxley, and an afterword by Carson's biographer Linda Lear.

    Rachel Carson: The Sea Trilogy (Loa #352): Under the Sea-Wind / The Sea Around Us / The Edge of the Sea
    Pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson explores the wonders of the Earth's oceans in these classics of American science and nature writing. Rachel Carson is perhaps most famous as the author of Silent Spring, but she was first and foremost a "poet of the sea" and the three books collected in this deluxe Library of America volume are classics of American science and nature writing. Under the Sea-Wind (1941), Carson's lyrical debut, offers an intimate account of maritime ecology through the eyes of three of the ocean's denizens, the individual lives of sanderling, mackerel, and eel dramatically intertwined in the enduring ebb and flow of the tides. The Sea Around Us (1951)-a winner of the National Book Award-draws on a wealth of oceanographic, meteorological, biological, and historical research to present its subject on a grand, biospheric scale, revealing not only many mysteries of the still-unfathomed depths, but a reverence for the sea as a source of global climate and of life itself. Concluding Carson's "sea trilogy," The Edge of the Sea (1955) explores the habits of the many small creatures that live on shorelines and in tidepools accessible to any beachcomber: part identification guide, part hymn to ecological complexity, it is a book that conveys the "sense of wonder" in nature for which Carson is justly celebrated. At a moment when overfishing, pollution, and global warming are causing catastrophic changes to marine environments worldwide, Carson's lyrically detailed accounts of these environments offer a timely reminder of their beauty, fragility, and immense consequence for human life. Series Overview: This volume, #352 in the Library of America series, is a companion to Rachel Carson: Silent Spring & Other Writings on the Environment, volume #307.
