The Sea Around Us - Carson, Rachel L.

Clean, tight, unmarked; 5th printing; previous owner's name and address on ffep; wear to corners and spine extremes; creases to inside flaps; several large chips and tears to edges of dust jacket; unfaded green and cream covers; no rubbing; age tanned; The Sea Around Us is a prize-winning and best-selling book by the American marine biologist Rachel Carson, first published as a whole by Oxford University Press in 1951. It reveals the science and poetry of the sea while ranging from its primeval beginnings to the latest scientific probings. Often described as "poetic," it was Carson's second published book and the one that launched her into the public eye and a second career as a writer and conservationist; in retrospect it is counted the second book of her so-called sea trilogy.
