"The edge of the sea is a strange and beautiful place." A book to be read for pleasure as well as a practical identification guide, The Edge of the Sea introduces a world of teeming life where the sea meets the land. A new generation of readers is discovering why Rachel Carson's books have become cornerstones of the environmental and conservation movements. New introduction by Sue Hubbell. (A Mariner Reissue)
Rachel Carson (1907 - 1964) spent most of her professional life as a marine biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. By the late 1950s, she had written three lyrical, popular books about the sea, including the best-selling The Sea Around Us, and had become the most respected science writer in America. She completed Silent Spring against formidable personal odds, and with it shaped a powerful social movement that has altered the course of history.
Sue Hubbell is the author of, among other works, A Country Year and A Book of Bees, which was selected as a New York Times Notable Book. She lives in Maine and Washington, D.C.

评分很多人在小学时代都学过这样一首歌:《大海啊故乡》,这本是艺术化地表达对母亲、对大海、对故乡的感恩与热爱,但有意思的是,从自然科学的角度看,大海的确可以算作是地球上生命的故乡。上古生命发轫之时,最低级、最简单的无脊椎动物,已在海洋出现,为今天丰富多彩的海...
