A cornerstone book for anyone interested in learning about the sea. Covering the history and formation of the sea, sailing, and marine life, the resources available (or not) from the sea, Carson relays information in a clear and pretty concise manner.
While first published 1951 and some information either old or not entirely accurate, it is still a great and valuable read with plenty to learn from; it provides the encouragement to learn more about the subject.

Fascinating
As an individual who lives on an Island, I felt compelled to obtain a better understanding of the sea that surrounds me. Rachel Carson provides such a book with insight and science cleverly woven into a very readable narrative. Despite the age of the book (1961) it is still very current. It would be fascinating to see how it could be updated with 57 years of additional research and data.
