Baltimore, Friends of the Land, 1951. Five pages of text by Carson, reprinted from the second half of the chapter "The Birth of an Island" from The Sea Around Us. There is also a three-page review of the book, which The Land names as its Top Choice from the current publishing season of books on the relationship of Man and the Land: The Sea Around Us went on to win the National Book Award and a John Burroughs Medal; the documentary based on the book won the Academy Award. Spine rolled and nicked; a few water spots to dulled covers; still very good in wrappers. [#033004] SOLD
