With admiration and esteem, Linda Lear, Sept. 29, 1997." Uncommon signed. William H. Becker was a a fellow professor of history at George Washington University, where Linda Lear earned her PhD in history in 1974 and then returned to the faculty in 1978. They were members of history department together for decades. Becker mainly wrote about the history of business and economics. Lear's book is the definitive biography of Rachel Carson, and it received the Margaret W. Rossiter History of Women in Science Prize from the History of Science Society. She has continued to write about Carson and has become the foremost steward and champion of her legacy.
