[Signed] [First Edition] The Sea Around Us Rachel L. Carson [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover] [Signed] [First Edition] The Sea Around Us Rachel L. Carson [Used - Near fine] [Hardcover] 2985.18 CAD A first edition of The Sea Around Us by Rachel L. Carson, personally signed by the author. This copy is in Near Fine condition, with a tight binding, exceptionally clean pages, and only light evidence of careful handling. The original dust jacket is in Good to Very Good condition, exhibiting moderate wear consistent with age while remaining complete and highly presentable. The dust jacket is protected in a clear archival Mylar cover and will be shipped with the Mylar protector in place. Personally signed by Rachel L. Carson, this is an exceptional collectible copy of one of the most influential works of twentieth-century science writing. Originally published in 1951, The Sea Around Us transformed public understanding of the world's oceans through Carson's remarkable ability to combine rigorous scientific research with elegant, accessible prose. The book became an international bestseller, remained on The New York Times bestseller list for more than a year, won the 1952 National Book Award for Nonfiction, and established Carson as one of America's foremost science writers. Her work in this volume laid the foundation for the environmental movement that would later be galvanized by Silent Spring. Signed first editions by Rachel Carson are increasingly scarce due to her relatively brief career and untimely death in 1964. Copies retaining the original dust jacket are especially desirable, making this an outstanding opportunity to acquire a significant work by one of the most influential environmental authors of the twentieth century. A superb signed first edition of a landmark work of natural history and environmental literature, complete with its original dust jacket protected in archival Mylar. An exceptional addition to any collection of science, conservation, or important signed first editions.

Large 8vo., full dark green cloth, decorated in gilt to spine with publisher's device to the foot; dark cream endpapers; together in the unclipped photographic wrapper (£20.00 net); with 35 black and white photographs throughout, taken by Giese; The BOOK aside from some very faint rubbing to the boards is in near Fine condition. The WRAPPER is also in near Fine condition with just one tiny indentation to the front panel and a hint of creasing to the edges. The wrapper is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. The book has been signed by the Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney to the title page. A collection of poems based on 'Sweeney Astray', Heaney's interpretation of the Irish poem 'Buile Suibhne' published by him in 1983. The medieval tale speaks of Suibhne mac Colmáin, King of the Dál nAraidi, who is driven insane by a curse and leaves battle to spend years wandering the Irish landscape. Heaney's edition won the 1985 'PEN Translation Prize for poetry', and extracts are published here with revised stanzas. The text is accompanied by atmospheric black and white photographs by the American photographer Rachel Giese. Giese was born and raised in New York City, but began traveling to Ireland in the late 1970s, drawn to the light, the weather, and the history. In 1987 she published 'The Donegal Pictures', which Heaney (who wrote the introduction) described as "attend[ing] to the speechless life in things and places and people. Donegal is not only recorded here, it is reimagined." The present book was published in the same year in which Giese moved to Ireland, "Seamus became interested in what I was doing" she later said in an interview with Muriel Adrien, "he asked if I would like to collaborate on a revised edition of Sweeney Astray, his book-long adaptation of an ancient Irish text about the life of Sweeney, one of Irish myth's hero/anti-heroes (much is paradoxical in Irish literature), that he had previously published, this time with photographs. I spent about 4 years working on this project and it was finally published in 1992. I knew both Heaney's text and the Ulster landscape well and it was a joy to do." The atmospheric images show an array of Irish landscapes including stone formations, misty coastal scenes, mountains and waterfalls. Of the new collaborative version, Heaney notes in his introduction "a poem is never completed, merely abandoned." Scarce with such attributes. More images on request.

J. Ham Smith (1912). First Edition, Signed by author to title. Blue cloth with gilt lettered spine. 32 full page black and white photographic plates, complete. Internally clean with occasional minor chipping to page extremities and several plates are slightly loose but attached. Boards show some rubbing to extremities and marking to boards, and slight rubbing to spine gutters. A scarce book in commerce, more so as a signed copy. An interesting travel study by a solo female traveller, Rachel Humphreys, published a year before women were finally permitted to join the Royal Geographical Society, in 1913, to which she was elected along with a further 163 other women explorers and academics. In her dedication she remarks that this is to give an account of the 'wonderful things seen in that dear land of light and colour.' It documents her travels across northern Africa, remarking on the people, the customs, the infrastructure and history, of where she travels. Furthering the theme of female travel, the majority of photographs were taken by Miss G. Hume, Miss C. White, or the author. She starts in Algiers, where she visits mosques, markets, and remarks on the status of women in Algerian society, comparing their station to that of women in other 'oriental' nations, and concluding that they are still mistreated by men who won't see their face till the wedding. Having finished in Algiers, she and her friends move off to the dessert, taking an antiquated train by wealthy English standards that could not be called 'de-luxe', but which did provide foot warmers, until they reach a stop over at El Guerrah in the mountains, which they reach on New Year's Eve, and in the middle of a rare snow storm for the region. They continue onto Biskra where she is led around by a local guide, Amr, and whilst in the market place, again remarks on the station of the local women, often adorned in jewellery but not frequently allowed out due to a high rate of murder for what they carry. This seems a consistent theme throughout the travelogue, an interest in the culture, from a very much colonial perspective, as a curio of a more mysterious continent and time, but also with genuine concern for women like her, as she continues around the continent, travelling then to Egypt and down the Nile. A scarce piece of feminist travel history.
