Rachel L. Carson – Under The Sea-Wind – First Edition 1952
£185.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘Under The Sea-Wind’ by Rachel L. Carson, published by Staples in 1952. A very good book without inscriptions. In a very good clipped wrapper wrapper with chipping and a little edge-wear.
Under the Sea-Wind, written by Rachel Carson in 1941, is a poetic and scientifically rich exploration of marine life, capturing the beauty and complexity of ocean ecosystems. Through vivid, narrative-style prose, Carson follows three marine creatures—a sanderling (a type of shorebird), a mackerel, and an eel—across their life cycles and interactions in the vast underwater world. Her detailed observations reveal the delicate interdependence of species and the challenges they face in nature. Although not initially successful, Under the Sea-Wind later gained recognition for its lyrical style and environmental insight, helping establish Carson as a pioneering voice in ecology.
