«Para mantener vivo en un niño su innato sentido del asombro, se necesita la compañía de al menos un adulto con quien poder compartirlo, redescubriendo con él la alegría, la expectación y el misterio del mundo en que vivimos».Rachel Carson (1907-1964) es universalmente considerada la inspiradora del ecologismo moderno, gracias a su libro La primavera silenciosa, en el que denunció el uso indiscriminado del DDT señalando sus dañinas consecuencias para la salud pública y la naturaleza. El sentido del asombro es probablemente su obra más trascendente y desconocida. Pues más allá de revelar en su vida las agresiones a la naturaleza, su principal legado fue enseñarnos que no hay mejor manera de preservarla que experimentar su grandeza. Este pequeño clásico, traducido por primera vez al español, es un antídoto refrescante contra la indiferencia y una guía para captar la fuerza de los descubrimientos sencillos que Carson consideraba esencial para vivir. 10
