Excerpt from A Secret of the Sea, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel Gerald advanced slowly into the room, and for a moment or two he altogether failed to recognize the man who rose out of the easy-chair to greet him. It was Byrne and yet it was not Byrne. It must be his father, or an older brother, said Gerald to himself. Even when the man held out his hand and whispered: Is there any body outside the door he was still in doubt. There is no one outside the door, said Gerald. I came up the stairs alone.

After making one or two futile attempts to read over for the second time, and more carefully than before, the letters left behind by Pod, he gave up the attempt as a bad job.

Excerpt from A Secret of the Sea, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel At the last moment, however, the baronet and Gerald started for London alone. Late on Friday, Lady Dudgeon received a tele gram. Her only sister was very ill, and it was needful that she should hurry off without an hour's delay. Considering all that I have done for Caroline, it is really very ungrateful of her to be ill at a time like this, she grumbled to her husband. She knew how anxious I was to get back to town, and She might have doctored herself up for another month or two. I hope to goodness she won't die till the season is over. I can't bear myself in mourning. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Pioneering environmentalist Rachel Carson explores the wonders of the Earth's oceans in these classics of American science and nature writing. Rachel Carson is perhaps most famous as the author of Silent Spring, but she was first and foremost a "poet of the sea" and the three books collected in this deluxe Library of America volume are classics of American science and nature writing. Under the Sea-Wind (1941), Carson's lyrical debut, offers an intimate account of maritime ecology through the eyes of three of the ocean's denizens, the individual lives of sanderling, mackerel, and eel dramatically intertwined in the enduring ebb and flow of the tides. The Sea Around Us (1951)--a winner of the National Book Award--draws on a wealth of oceanographic, meteorological, biological, and historical research to present its subject on a grand, biospheric scale, revealing not only many mysteries of the still-unfathomed depths, but a reverence for the sea as a source of global climate and of life itself. Concluding Carson's "sea trilogy," The Edge of the Sea (1955) explores the habits of the many small creatures that live on shorelines and in tidepools accessible to any beachcomber: part identification guide, part hymn to ecological complexity, it is a book that conveys the "sense of wonder" in nature for which Carson is justly celebrated. At a moment when overfishing, pollution, and global warming are causing catastrophic changes to marine environments worldwide, Carson's lyrically detailed accounts of these environments offer a timely reminder of their beauty, fragility, and immense consequence for human life.
