Earth Portal Features Rachel Carson

Here's a most interesting topic of the week over on the Earth Portal. This week the topic is Environment in Focus: Rachel Carson's environmental ethics.

The author is Philip Cafaro, assistant professor in philosophy at Colorado State University. I haven't yet checked to see if any of his courses have websites.

As is always the case on Earth Portal, this article is more like a crash course, profiling Rachael Carson and her work. Throughout the very long piece there are link-outs to other supporting information and a long list of additional reading suggestions, related news links and external links to sites about Rachel Carson.

This is an extremely useful paper for any lifelong learner studying the environmental movement. In addition, this site is a valuable addition to our learning toolbox. In our next post we'll talk about the Earth Portal.
