The poetic prose of Rachel Carson is beautifully read in this performance. This book creates such beautiful imagery in the mind's eye. I will forever visit the seaside with a much invigorated and inspired perspective.

great way to learn about the creatures living on the Eastern aeaboard as far south as Florida. Carson's writing is informative and poetical. You can really tell how much she loves the sea.

Full of information. Detailed science, connections explained, vast in scope. Several times I stopped to look up an image of the wonderous creatures I discovered. what really sticks with my memory overloaded brain though is her true love of this world comes through so poetically throughout. Never heavy, just lovely. Amazing narration; voice, tone, and tempo well matched to the subject inviting the listener to escape to a fascinating shore somewhere.

A lovely listen
