A propos de cet article

The Sea Around Us: Special Edition for Young Readers (1961 Golden Press Hardcover without Dust Jacket) A VERY special and important book for young readers written by a highly respected and often referenced scientist, Dr. Rachel Carson, author of "Silent Spring". Appropriate for age group pre-teen through high school years. Very nice pictorial cover of a rocky coast and the sea. This is not a simplistic picture book but is actually a well-written and comprehensive scientific text. A must for every young person interested in environmental sciences. "The fascinating story of the oceans of the earth and the life they support, especially adapted for young readers from the original text of Rachel Carson's magnificent best-seller. With more than 150 marine photographs, maps and drawings in color and black-and-white." 165 pages with front end papers numbered. 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 bestselling 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. Anne Terry White (1896-1980) was a Russian-born American writer and translator of children's books & non-fiction. She helped adapt Ms. Carson's original work into language for children to understand. Illustrations were performed by Rene Martin, with maps by Emil Lowenstein. 47 specific individuals and institutions were cited for photographs and quotations. Hardcover has full color photo illustrated boards, white lettering, but no dust jacket. Exterior has only minor shelf-wear. Interior is complete, tight, clean, and unmarked. Opens as if seldom read. Condition is Fine (As New). Age has no apparent effect on the pages of this copy. Copyright 1958 by Golden Press. Text copyrights 1950, 1951, 1958 by Rachel L. Carson. Printed in U.S.A. This copy stated from 4th printing 1961. Thanks for looking.…
