Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Meet the S.T.E.A.M. pioneer - Rachel Carson - and discover her fascinating life story and inspirations.

Rachel Carson tells the story of this key scientific figure - covering her whole life's journey and her amazing legacy to science today. It follows her early inspirations and her determined and exemplary scientific skills as she uncovered the truth about the damage the pesticide DDT was doing to the environment.
