Description: The Sea Around Us by Rachel L. Carson 1951 HC; Oxford University Press; Good; Award Winner and Best Seller The boards show rubbing, yellowing, fading, scuffing, corner dings, and wear. The interior of the book has a previous owner's name on the first free end page on the decorative paper. The pages show some yellowing but this is minimal and the decorative end papers at the back remain bright. Overall a nice book. About the book: The Sea Around Us is a prize-winning and best-selling book by the American marine biologist Rachel Carson, first published as a whole by Oxford University Press in 1951. It 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.The Sea Around Us won both the 1952 National Book Award for Nonfiction[1] and a Burroughs Medal in nature writing.[2] It remained on the New York Times Best Seller List for 86 weeks[3] and it has been translated into 28 languages.[4]
