Following up on the success of her 1951 book, The Sea Around Us, marine biologist Rachel Carson published The Edge of the Sea in 1955. It was the last in a trilogy that focused solely on the ocean. In it, she explored coastal ecology on the Eastern seaboard, sharing detailed descriptions of life in marshes, tide pools, and shallows--places where Carson found inspiration.
