Seventh Issue of Springs: The Rachel Carson Center Review
The RCC is delighted to announce the release of the seventh issue of Springs: The Rachel Carson Center Review.
This edition ponders on emplacement and visibility, takes us through the centuries, and echoes an urgent call to attend to nonhuman sentience.
Join us as we travel to Venice, explore farming in Thailand, and “walk a Sicilian river.”
