Two years after its first edition, Rachel dei pettirossi by Danilo Selvaggi is now released in English under the title Rachel of the robins, by Pandion Edizioni. Dedicated to Rachel Carson and her legendary book Silent Spring, Selvaggi's essay traces the genesis of the work that paved the way for modern environmentalism and for a new idea of nature. A nature that is no longer something to control but a subject related to life, a subject of interest and deep relations, with which we must establish a harmonious alliance.
