Описание:
We don't always get to choose the life we will lead, and for a young woman growing up as a preacher's kid, being a preacher's wife wasn't part of her plan-yet God's plans are not always the same as our own.
In Rosalee, the PW, author Marcy Lytle shares the biography of her mother, Rosalee-a story of a young woman's life in the 1940s as she meets and marries a US Air Force man in khakis. It isn't long, however, before Rosalee's husband hears "the call" for a career she loathes; it's the same career her father had, and she cannot rid herself of images of the persecution her father experienced, all because of his job as a pastor. Rosalee is talented, creative, and determined, but she often escapes behind her sewing machine until her children start growing up and moving on. Yet a simple telephone call will begin Rosalee's own new career, as she begins to make strokes that pull her to the top, above the waters of despair.
Join Rosalee as she discovers some amazing truths about marriage, life, and aging that enable her to open her hands wide to those around her. Rosalee will one day receive the surprise of her life, and it is this final discovery that amazes her youngest daughter and compels her to tell this story...

Описание: Rachel Carson's Silent Spring antagonized some of the most powerful interests in the nation--including the farm block and the agricultural chemical industry--and helped launch the modern environmental movement. In The Gentle Subversive, Mark Hamilton Lytle offers a compact biography of Carson, illuminating the road that led to this vastly influential book. Lytle explores the evolution of Carson's ideas about nature, her love for the sea, her career as a biologist, and above all her emergence as a writer of extraordinary moral and ecological vision. We follow Carson from her childhood on a farm outside Pittsburgh, where she first developed her love of nature (and where, at age eleven, she published her first piece in a children's magazine), to her graduate work at Johns Hopkins and her career with the Fish and Wildlife Service. Lytle describes the genesis of her first book, Under the Sea-Wind, the incredible success of The Sea Around Us (a NewYork Times bestseller for over a year), and her determination to risk her fame in order to write her "poison book": Silent Spring. The author contends that despite Carson's demure, lady-like demeanor, she was subversive in her thinking and aggressive in her campaign against pesticides. Carson became the spokeswoman for a network of conservationists, scientists, women, and other concerned citizens who had come to fear the mounting dangers of the human assault on nature. What makes this story particularly compelling is that Carson took up this cause at the very moment when she herself faced a losing battle with cancer. Succinct and engaging, The Gentle Subversive is a story of success, celebrity, controversy, and vindication. It will inspire anyone interested in protecting the natural world or in women's struggle to find a voice in society.
