A coastal ecology seen through birds and marine life

Rachel Carson’s first book turns to the shore and open sea, observing birds and sea creatures within their natural habitats. The material centers on the connections that sustain coastal and marine environments: creatures’ interactions, the changing conditions of sea and shoreline, and the ecological balance described in the publisher’s account. Written before Carson’s later environmental work, it offers an early expression of her sustained attention to the living systems of the sea.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in marine life and coastal ecosystems
  • Fans of classic nature writing
  • Those exploring Rachel Carson’s work beyond Silent Spring

Book overview

Rachel Carson--pioneering environmentalist and author of Silent Spring--opens our eyes to the wonders of the natural world in her groundbreaking paean to the sea.

Celebrating the mystery and beauty of birds and sea creatures in their natural habitat, Under the Sea-Wind--Rachel Carson's first book and her personal favorite--is the early masterwork of one of America's greatest nature writers. Evoking the special mystery and beauty of the shore and the open sea--its limitless vistas and twilight depths--Carson's astonishingly intimate, unforgettable portrait captures the delicate negotiations of an ingeniously calibrated ecology.
