FORCE OF NATURE is a well-researched and timely free verse novel on the life, inspiration, and impact of Rachel Carson. Carson is the naturalist, marine biologist, and author of Silent Spring, whose work is credited with bringing much-needed urgency and action to the global environmental conservation movement. Burg began writing Carson's story in response to her nagging worry over our ailing planet. As an intrepid researcher looking into climate change, she discovered it was impossible to research the environment without coming across the words and warnings of Rachel Carson: Man is a part of nature and his war against nature is inevitably a war against himself. Who was Rachel Carson? Where did she find her courage? How did she forge her path to define the global climate movement as we know it by writing Silent Spring? FORCE OF NATURE answers those questions and more in brilliant free verse written for young scientists, environmentalists, feminists, and students.
