    From a Google-cached page listing of "Scientists Who Have Contributed to Our Knowledge of Freshwater Crab Biology," retrieved Jan. 20, 2009 - she is listed under "African Freshwater Crab Carcinologists" Isabella Gordon 18 May 1901 – 11 May 1988 British carcinologist.

The original page, apparently compiled by Dr. Neil Cumberlidge at Northern Michigan University, is no longer there. faculty.nmu.edu/ncumberl/Neil/MainFWC-website/FWCCarcinol... There's a piece on her (probably an obit) in the Nov. 1988 issue of the Journal of Crustacean Biology if someone has access to JSTOR. (I don't on my home computer) And in Crustaceana, Vol. 56, No. 1 (1989)

    her anniversary of book silent spring is 30 year today
  • mikescottnz said:
    Rachel Carson the author of 'Silent Spring' was attacked by Monsanto before she died in 1964. Late in the 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation, especially some environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides. The result was the book Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to an unprecedented share of the American people. Although Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by agri-chemical companies, it spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy, which led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides, and it inspired a grassroots environmental movement that led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Carson was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter. www.gmwatch.org/videos/food-safety-videos/17103-from-ddt-...
