Page xi Foreword Rachel Carson and Silent Spring Paul Brooks To write about Rachel Carson is a pleasure. Sometimes I feel that it is almost a duty: she was such a quiet, modest person that to know her from her writings alone is not easy. Some people have referred to her as shy. I should rather say that she always seemed quiet and reserved, no matter what the circumstances. (And the circumstances following the publication of her last and most influential book, Silent Spring, were hair-raising.) As a writer, she was very professionala joy to work with. She did, however, have one limitation, which may have hampered her when she was being entertained as a celebrity: she had little enthusiasm for small talk. (I am reminded of a remark once made to me by a guest as we were leaving a luncheon given by Houghton Mifflin Co. in honor of Winston Churchill: "He's a very interesting man, but he hasn't much small talk, has he?")
