Under the Sea Wind [J0023]

1996 - PB reprint of the 1941 original, Nice clean condition. Describes the sea birds and sea creatures that inhabit the Eastern coasts of North America.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I think it's nature writing at its very best-written with scientific precision by a marine biologist who clearly has a deep concern and care for marine ecology, not only for what lives within the sea but also for what happens above it. My favourite is the third book: the dramatic journey of an eel, and the depiction of the open ocean as vast and terrifying, seemingly without end. Carson is also able to evoke the atmosphere of the deep sea in a way that is both exquisitely beautiful and unsettling (for human) at the same time."; "Describes the living conditions of many species of shore and sea life. Demystifies just what goes on in the water. Lyrical and carefully written, Carson's naturalist's observations are timeless."; "I loved the narration across some different animals and the general landscape of the watery environments. I think this is the closest we'll come to a true narration from animals."
