Pizza will be served. Published in 1951\, The Sea Around Us is one of the most remarkably successful books ever written about the natural world. Rachel Carson's rare ability to combine scientific insight with moving\, poetic prose catapulted her book to first place on The New York Times best-seller list\, where it enjoyed wide attention for thirty-one consecutive weeks. It remained on the list for more than a year and a half and ultimately sold well over a million copies\, has been translated into 28 languages\, inspired an Academy Award-winning documentary\, and won both the 1952 National Book Award and the John Burroughs Medal. This classic work remains as fresh today as when it first appeared. Carson's writing teems with stunning\, memorable images--the newly formed Earth cooling beneath an endlessly overcast sky\; the centuries of nonstop rain that created the oceans\; giant squids battling sperm whales hundreds of fathoms below the surface\; and incredibly powerful tides moving 100 billion tons of water daily in the Bay of Fundy. Quite simply\, she captures the mystery and allure of the ocean with a compelling blend of imagination and expertise.
