(CARSON, RACHEL), "Undersea" in The Atlantic, Vol. 160, No. 3.
(Concord/Boston): (Atlantic Monthly), 1937. First Edition. Carson's first publication in a national magazine, which earned her the notice of Simon and Schuster, who published her first book, Under the Sea-Wind, in 1941, unfortunately just weeks prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor. As a result of the war, the book did not sell well, and Carson's next book wasn't published for another decade. After the success of The Sea Around Us in 1951, Oxford University Press reissued her first book and it became a bestseller and a Book of the Month Club selection, paving the way for her to have enough clout within the publishing world to bring her classic, Silent Spring, into print a decade later. Minor wear to the yapped edges and at the extremities of the spine; very good in wrappers.
