THE EDGE OF THE SEA, which has sold over 600,000 copies in its American edition alone, is divided into three main sections: the rocky shore, the rim of sand and the coral coast - environments which are found the world over. Rachel Carson leads the reader into an unknown world to catch the evanescent beauty of a tide pool and tell the story of a grain of sand. It is a book to be read for pleasure at any time or place, and also to be used as a practical guide for identification.
