The Sea Around Us by Rachel Carson

Fascinating and informative descriptions of the oceans and seas that make up so much of the earth habitat. Explanations of the impact of tides, deep-sea canyons, icy and warmer water, force of waves etc. build an incredible picture of a vast, largely unseen world. Poignant also because the publication of this book predated the horrific consequences of over-fishing, pollution, and petroleum production. What would this clearly very intelligent author write today if she surveyed the same bodies of water?
