Undersea
by Rachel L. Carson
Slipcased Edition, Out of print
Deluxe Edition, Out of print
The September issue of The Atlantic Monthly for 1937 included an essay titled simply, Undersea, by R. L. Carson. Those who read it were uniformly impressed with its lyric quality and by the scientific understanding of its author. Later, the literary world would remember this essay as the unassuming debut of one of the greatest narrative writers and ecologists of the 20th century, Rachel Carson.

With an Afterword by Julia Whitty, an award-winning writer, former documentary underwater filmmaker, author of The Fragile Edge, a book on the ocean and coral reefs, and Deep Blue Home: An Intimate Ecology of Our Wild Ocean.
