      • Paul Brooks (1909–1998) was a nature writer, book editor, and environmentalist.
      Brooks received his bachelor's degree from Harvard University in 1931, where he was the editor of the Harvard Lampoon. Soon after graduation, he became an employee at the publishing company Houghton Mifflin in Boston and remained with the company for 40 years. He was editor-in-chief of Houghton Mifflin's General Book Department from 1943 until his retirement in 1969. He wrote Two Park Street: A Publishing Memoir, containing anecdotes about his experiences editing the works of Rachel Carson, Roger Tory Peterson, Winston Churchill, Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and James Agee, among others. Paul Brooks suggested the title Silent Spring for Rachel Carson's famous book.
      In 1965 Brooks won the John Burroughs Medal for his 1964 book Roadless Area.
