A review by ghosthermione
The Sea Around Us by Rachel Carson

Fascinating to read. Some of the knowledge of the time, specifically around the formation of the moon, plate tectonics and the (absence of) the concept of pangaea, is absolutely outdated. And at the same time it gives a good idea of the knowledge of the time from the formation of the seas up to current scientific experiments and early offshore oil drilling. Which is interesting in the context of Silent Spring, written a decade later.
