Late at night and into the wee hours of the morning,
I've been reading from new books I bought recently.
I bought 3 books: Two, authored by Rachel Carson (
Under the Sea-wind &
The Edge of the Sea); and one other book, authored by Susan Steingraber
(Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment)
.
I'm saving, what I think are the best books to be read last: Rachel Carson's books about the sea, the shoreline, and the environmental impact she observed during her lifetime as a marine biologist. I was given two of her books (
Silent Spring & The Sense of Wonder) by my grandmother, when I was a young girl. I will be reading them later this week.
Sunday morning, I opened up Steingraber's book, then laid it down to read later after I accomplished all the items on my Sunday chore list. I am only half way through her book, but she presents a strong case for why synthetic food sources and genetically altered seed for meeting food needs are strongly linked to cancerous conditions found in the human body.
If you are attracted to sciences (scientific studies), I highly recommend both authors. Particularly Rachel Carson. Her writings have strongly influenced me and have stayed with me throughout my lifetime.
