This is Rachel Carson's first book, published first in 1941. This British edition was issued in 1952, following her success with The Sea All Around Us the previous year. In Under The Sea-Wind, Carson describes the work of a marine biologist. Chapters include: Edge of The sea: Flood tide; Spring flight; Arctic rendezvous; Summer's end; Winds blowing seaward. The Gull's Way: Migrants of the spring sea; Birth of a mackerel; Hunters of the plankton; The harbour; Seaways; Indian summer of the sea; Seine haul.

The Sea All Around Us, however, was the one which made Carson's name, establishing her financial independence and her reputation. .

Penguin edition. Very good paperback copy; edges slightly dust-dulled and nicked. Remains particularly well-preserved overall. Physical description: 317p.: ill.; 22cm. Notes: Includes index. Subject: Pesticides: environmental pollution.Genre: Illustrated. Summary: Now recognized as one of the most influential books of the twentieth century, Silent Spring exposed the destruction of wildlife through the widespread use of pesticides. Despite condemnation in the press and heavy-handed attempts by the chemical industry to ban the book, Rachel Carson succeeded in creating a new public awareness of the environment which led to changes in government and inspired the ecological movement. It is thanks to this book, and the help of many environmentalists, that harmful pesticides such as DDT were banned from use in the US and countries around the world. 1 Kg.

Hardcover. Written for U.S. Bureau of Fisheries as 'The world of waters', this grew into Under the Sea Wind (1941) - Entire volume offered Conclusion: 'Beneath tropical seas, in depths of 1000 to 1500 fathoms, calcareous oozes cover nearly a third of the ocean floor; while the colder waters of the temperate and polar regions release to the underlying bottom the silicious remains of diatoms and Radiolaria. In the red clay that carpets the great deeps at 3000 fathoms or more, such delicate skeletons are extremely rare. Among the few organic remains not dissolved before they reach these cold and silent depths are the ear bones of whales and the teeth of sharks. / Thus we see the parts of the plan fall into place: the water receiving from earth and air the simple materials, storing them up until the gathering energy of the spring sun wakens the sleeping plants to a burst of dynamic activity, hungry swarms of planktonic animals growing and multiplying upon the abundant plants, and themselves falling prey to the shoals of fish; all, in the end, to be redissolved into their component substances when the inexorable laws of the sea demand it. Individual elements are lost to view, only to reappear again and again in different incarnations in a kind of material immortality. Kindred forces to those which, in some period inconceivably remote, gave birth to that primeval bit of protoplasm tossing on the ancient seas continue their mighty and incomprehensible work. Against this cosmic background the life span of a particular plant or animal appears, not as a drama complete in itself, but only as a brief interlude in a panorama of endless change.' Good ex-lib. slate buckram. Adverts (but not wrappers) bound in.
