Artifact Overview
After the minimal success of her first book, Under the Sea Wind (1941), marine biologist Rachel Carson, published The Sea Around Us (1951). Her prose, a mix of poetry and scientific understanding, captured readers' imaginations and won the book multiple awards. This success allowed Carson to resign as Chief Editor of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service and devote all of her time to being an author.
