How did Rachel Carson present her ideas to the public?

Rachel Carson was a scientist, and author, that studied the impact we leave on the environment with our chemicals. She wrote many books, that brought her Word to life, caused quite a stir in environmentalist circles, and brought the world to a realization of the danger in using pesticides. When she wrote a book called Silent Spring in 1962, the fourth she had written on nature, the story created a fire-storm among the public and researchers alike.
