Internet giant Google celebrates the 107th birthday of American marine biologist and author Rachel Louise Carson with a doodle. Carson is standing at a riverside with a pair of binoculars around her neck and a notebook in her hand.

Born on May 27, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania, Carson is famous for advancing the global environment movement through her writings.

Since early childhood, she had a great passion for environment and had spent a lot of time exploring the forests and streams around her home.

Carson published her first book 'Under the Sea-Wind: A Naturalist's Picture of Ocean Life' in 1941, and second book, 'The Sea Around Us', in 1951.

Disturbed by the excessive use of synthetic chemical pesticides after World War II, she began focusing on the ill-effects of chemicals and pesticides on the environment. She wrote a book, 'Silent Spring' in 1956, and called for a change in the way mankind viewed the natural world.

Carson was attacked by the chemical industry lobby, but she fought against them and called for new policies to protect human health and the environment.

Carson died in 1964 after a long battle against breast cancer..

    Google today celebrates the 107th birthday of Rachel Louise Carson, an American marine biologist and conservationist. Visitors on Google will be welcomed with a beautiful illustration which is celebratory of her life, achievements and contributions to marine biology and ecology.

    The doodle shows Carson standing with a pair of binoculars around her neck and a notebook in her hand observing a rich multitude of flora and fauna including a seal, a pelican, a tern, a butterfly and a wading bird.

    Rachel Carson was born on May 27, 1907 in the rural river town of Springdale, Pennsylvania. Initially she wanted to be a writer but her love of biology took her first to Chatham College and then to Johns Hopkins University for an MS in Zoology in 1932. Carson began her career as a marine biologist in the US Bureau of Fisheries and became a full-time nature writer in the 1950s.

    She wrote a book ,Silent Spring which was noted and credited with advancing the global movement on environment.

    Her most significant work was the campaign against the use of DDT (Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloroethane), a common insecticide, in the USA. She had questioned the logic of releasing large amounts of chemicals into the environment without a sufficient understanding of their effects on ecology and human health which eventually led to the ban on agricultural use of DDT in America in 1972.

    Carson died in Silver Spring, Maryland on April

Rachel Louise Carson was also credited with bringing global attention to the problems associated with the conservation of the environment.

    Carson's first book, The Sea Around Us, released in 1951 and was a bestseller. It also won her the US National Book Award. Her three books, The Sea Around Us (1951), The Edge of the Sea (1955) and Silent Spring (1962) were described as the Sea Trilogy. Silent Spring (1962) was a landmark as it led to the reversal of the policy on the use of pesticides.

    May Day is a nationwide bank and public holiday in India. The holiday is tied to labour movements for communist and socialist political parties. In Maharashtra and Gujarat, it is officially called Maharashtra Day (Maharashtra Din) and Gujarat Day respectively, since on this day in 1960 each attained statehood, after the old Bombay State became divided on linguistic lines.

    In many countries, the working classes sought to make May Day an official holiday, and their efforts largely succeeded. The day has long been a focal point for demonstrations by various socialist, communist and anarchist groups.
