EDGE OF THE SEA (THE CANONS)

Rachel Carson introduces us to the 'strange and beautiful place' where the sea meets the land. She explores a tide pool, an inaccessible cave, and watches a lone crab on the shore at midnight. From these and many other encounters, she offers a scientifically accurate study of the ecology of the seashore, a hauntingly beautiful account of the fragile balance of life found at the edge of the sea, and a prophetic alarm for the damage mankind is doing. Third volume in the classic trilogy.
