The Sea around Us - Softcover
In this newly revised and illustrated edition of her world-famous, award-winning classic, Rachel Carson reveals the science and poetry of the sea from its primeval beginnings to the latest scientific probings of its tantalizing mysteries. Oceanography made great strides during the exciting decade of the fifties; new discoveries were made and Miss Carson describes the most important findings in the Appendix in a series of notes keyed to the original text.

About the Author:
Rachel Louise Carson (1907 - 1964) was an American marine biologist and conservationist whose book Silent Spring and other writings are credited with advancing the global environmental movement. Carson began her career as an aquatic biologist and became a full-time nature writer in the 1950s. She highlighted conservation, especially environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides, most notably DDT. She brought environmental concerns to a global audience through her writing, inspiring grassroots environmental movements across the planet.
