| Notes | The book 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. |
