Magie des Staunens

Rachel Carson, the legendary pioneer of the environmental movement, made history. This book is her legacy: with sensitivity and a keen awareness of the world around us, she describes how we can heal our relationship with nature and overcome our alienation. How do we truly return to nature? By listening to our hearts and re-learning to marvel. In beautiful language, Rachel Carson shares how she introduces the wonders of nature to her young nephew using the simplest means—not through encyclopedic knowledge, but through intense, shared experiences. What follows is one of the most beautiful confessions to nature that literature has to offer, as well as a guide for parents and children without any trendy nonsense. "The Magic of Wonder" showcases both sides of the great Rachel Carson: the practical side of a scientist who wanted to change the world, and the artistic side of an author who is still to be discovered as a pioneer of "nature writing.".
