For the centennial of the birth of "Silent Spring" author Rachel Carson, a new edition of her groundbreaking paean to the sea
Celebrating the mystery and beauty of birds and sea creatures in their natural habitat, "Under the Sea-Wind"Rachel Carsons first book and her personal favoriteis the early masterwork of one of Americas greatest nature writers. Evoking the special mystery and beauty of the shore and the open seaits limitless vistas and twilight depthsCarsons astonishingly intimate, unforgettable portrait captures the delicate negotiations of an ingeniously calibrated ecology.
Review:
Rachel Carson was one of the reasons why I became so conscious of the environment and so involved with environmental issues. . . . Her picture hangs on my office wall among those of political leaders, presidents, and prime ministers. It has been there for yearsand it belongs there. Carson has had as much or more an effect on me than any of them, and perhaps all of them together. (Al Gore)
