It were the eleventh year of my young life when I embarked on a journey, into the wilds of Tennessee and onto the cobbled streets of Baltimore, that changed my course in ways I could not comprehend back then. In telling the story I will endeavor to address you in my plain manner, as I never posessed the many flowers of learning cultivated by those born into better circumstances, and lay before you a narrative of the trying and adventurous and somewhat humorous situations I faced during that time, and the most colorful aquaintances that all together made me become sort of a little man by the time I turned twelve. I recount it all here in the hopes of giving you an honest chance to know the person living as myself as a young lad, at the time feeling I stood no chance at becoming great in any other way than by accident and maybe, if I done my job right, I will have provided you some entertainment along the way. It were long gone from now, yet when I turn my memory back on it, it seems as but the work of yesterday. Davy Crockett Travel back to early America with Davy Crockett at the helm. See the seeds of his spirited, affable good nature sprout during the eleventh year of his life, as well as his great faith and abounding love of country.

Karen F. Stein University of Rhode Island, Kingston, USA Rachel Carson is the twentieth century’s most significant environmentalist. Her books about the sea blend science and poetry as they invite readers to share her celebration of the ocean’s wonders. Silent Spring, her graphic and compelling exposé of the damage caused by the widespread aerial spraying of persistent organic pesticides such as DDT, opened our eyes to the interconnectedness of all living beings and the ecological systems we inhabit. Carson’s work challenges our belief that science and technology can control the natural world, asks us to recognize our place in the world around us, and inspires us to treat the earth respectfully. She calls us to rekindle our sense of wonder at nature’s power and beauty, and to tread lightly on the earth so that it will continue to sustain us and our descendants. This book guides readers on a journey through Carson’s life and work, considers Carson’s legacies, and points to some of the continuing challenges to sustainability. It provides a listing of resources for reading, learning, or teaching about the environment, about nature writing, and about Carson and the crucial issues she addressed.
