"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.

评分警告:本文私货含量、括号含量超标,慎入 据说蕾切尔·卡森是现代环境保护运动的先驱。一说到环保运动先驱,许多人(包括许多环保主义者自己)脑海中立刻浮现的,要么是预言注定不被听信的先知卡珊德拉,要么是苦大仇深替罪恶的人类背负十字架的受难者耶稣——如果“打着保护...
评分再次遇到卡森的书,再次走进她的自然生物世界,有种赵忠详解说《人与自然》的感觉。基本上书中的介绍和语气,都跟赵老师的语调及语言形态一致,就那样很有特色的介绍海滨及海滨生物,始终把生物们高高在上的看待,对它们充满敬畏与尊崇。 此前读过卡森的另一本书《万...
