Rachel Carson, die legendäre Pionierin der Umweltbewegung, schrieb Menschheitsgeschichte. Dieses Buch ist ihr Vermächtnis: Einfühlsam und mit einem feinen Sinn für die uns umgebende Welt beschreibt sie, wie wir unser Verhältnis zur Natur heilen und unsere Entfremdung überwinden können. Wie finden wir wahrhaft zurück zur Natur? Indem wir auf unser Herz hören und das Staunen wieder lernen. In wunderbarer Sprache erzählt Rachel Carson, wie sie ihrem kleinen Neffen mit einfachsten Mitteln die Wunder der Natur nahe bringt – nicht mit enzyklopädischem Wissen, sondern durch intensives, gemeinsames Erleben. Was folgt, ist eines der schönsten Bekenntnisse zur Natur, das die Literatur zu bieten hat, und zugleich ein Ratgeber für Eltern und Kinder ohne modischen Firlefanz. »Magie des Staunens« zeigt beide Seiten der großen Rachel Carson: die praktische einer Wissenschaftlerin, die die Welt verändern wollte, und die künstlerische einer Autorin, die als Pionierin des »nature writing« noch zu entdecken ist.
