The Sea Around Us: Special Edition For Young Readers (utgåvan 1958)

I understand that the edition of Carson's 'The Sea Around Us' for young readers was edited from the original. However, I am unaware of the extent of the changes. That said, the book maintains the strong sense of wonder about the ocean that I expected based on others' reviews of the original. The ideas expressed in this book are extremely relevant today and must have been progressive at the time of publishing. This particular edition looks a lot like a high school text book and I couldn't help reading it with the mindset of a student. I learnt a great deal reading this book and can say with confidence that I look and think of the ocean differently as a result. ( )
