Washington DC, Fish and Wildlife Service, 1947. Issued as Conservation in Action No. 1, this is an 18-page illustrated booklet written by Carson. Scarce: this is only the second copy we've handled, although we've had multiple copies of several of her other early publications done by the Department of the Interior, as this one was. An early publication by the author of Silent Spring, perhaps the single most important volume in creating the modern environmental movement. Small label ("8/1") on front cover; minor dustiness/handling to covers. Near fine in stapled wrappers. [#036433] SOLD
