Washington, DC, National Geographic, (2009). A Silent Spring for the oceans. Earle, esteemed explorer and oceanographer, delineates the abundant damage wrought on the seas in a very short time: diminishing wildlife, bleached coral reefs, the accumulation of plastic, acidic pH levels, warming temperatures, etc. This copy is inscribed by Earle in 2011: "For Jenifer Shiu - With deepest admiration." Laid in is a letter to Shiu from a director of the Marine Conservation Institute. Fine in a fine dust jacket. [#035991] SOLD
