“The timely reissue of a classic maritime trilogy shows that the “poet of the oceans” was far ahead of her time … What’s striking is that Carson is a keen observer of the interconnectedness of things … Her sea series is not only fascinating for those with an interest in the prehistory of Silent Spring. There is much to marvel at in these pages. The Edge Of The Sea is a book to take down to the beach and rockpools – I will pack it in my own bag for the summer holidays” herald
“Catching the life breath of science on the still glass of poetry” time
”Praise for the Sea trilogy: This combination of science and scintillating prose provides fascinating insights into the mysteries of the tides … a masterpiece of ecological writing” guardian
“Rereading her natural histories, what stands out is how beautiful the writing is. Carson combined a scientist’s ability to see with a novelist’s ability to imagine” new Yorker
