Carson is also a frequent namesake for prizes awarded by philanthropic, educational and scholarly institutions. The Rachel Carson Prize, founded in Stavanger, Norway in 1991, is awarded to women who have made a contribution in the field of environmental protection. The American Society for Environmental History has awarded the Rachel Carson Prize for Best Dissertation since 1993. Since 1998, the Society for Social Studies of Science has awarded an annual Rachel Carson Book Prize for "a book length work of social or political relevance in the area of science and technology studies." Environmental/Natural literature is a genre I'm increasingly drawn to, so the array of writings that Carson has published have been on my to-read list for some time.

Sandra Steingraber, editor, is senior scientist at the Science & Environmental Health Network and one of America’s leading environmental writers and anti-pollution advocates.

Butterfly at Concorde 2, Brighton 12.8.23 (pic Sara-Louise Bowrey) The friends for the live set of Terry De Castro & Friends were an additional vocalist (Astrid Williamson), bassist (Melanie Howard), drummer (Nicholas Wellauer) and percussionist (Will Thomas). Terry explained that her eight tune performance was “songs about love and demise of love”. Musically the set was beautifully crafted Americana pop songs. Before a cover of The Smiths song ‘London’ Terry explained that she “countrified covers”. Astrid Williamson with Terry De Castro at Concorde 2, Brighton 12.8.23 (pic Sara-Louise Bowrey) Calum has a special interest in Gaelic Psalm Singing and was involved in producing the highly successful Salm CDs Vol 1 & 2 which explore the unique sound of Gaelic Psalm Singing in its natural setting as well as the Salm & Soul CD which was recorded live at Celtic Connections in 2005 exploring the connection between American Gospel Music and Gaelic Psalm Singing.

A shore can be on a lake or a river (unlike coast, which is only used with open water). So shore is equivalent to coast in the context of rivers and lakes. You would only use it for large rivers though; otherwise use "bank" or "riverbank". They have warned people living in coastal areas that protection and compensation may not be available at all, and homeowners may be asked to pay to demolish their properties while still paying their mortgage. Before the last song David announced it was Melanie’s birthday. Already in good voice from singing along throughout the set, the crowd gave the bassist a few verses of ‘Happy Birthday’. A good example of the strong bond between the band and the devoted fans who devotedly attend The Wedding Present’s annual ‘At The Edge Of The Sea’ event.

It's a beautiful sentence, the kind you want to roll around in your mouth for a bit before moving on to the next one. Nearly every sentence is crafted in this way, meaning the reading is often slow-going. The book describes intertidal life on the US East Coast, from Maine to Florida. Carson indicates various species that have counterparts on the West Coast and elsewhere, so I would not discount reading this if you are not on the East Coast. The strange animals themselves with their odd and varied adaptations stimulate the imagination. The descriptions of Carson’s own searches for these animals will appeal to even the most casual beachcomber, even if we, unlike she, are reluctant to tread forth with flashlight on a cold October night to see the anemone in the twice-annually-uncovered-by-the-tide sea cave! From coastal wiki) The strip of land that extends from the coastline inland to the first major change in the terrain features, which are not influenced by the coastal processes. The main types of coastal features are dunes, cliffs and low-lying areas, possibly protected by dikes or seawalls.

HM Coastguard said at the time the cliff had become unstable due to heavy rain. One homeowner said at the time he has been left “scared out of his mind” and he was desperate to move. Rachel Carson, writer, scientist, and ecologist, grew up simply in the rural river town of Springdale, Pennsylvania. Her mother bequeathed to her a life-long love of nature and the living world that Rachel expressed first as a writer and later as a student of marine biology. Carson graduated from Pennsylvania College for Women (now Chatham University) in 1929, studied at the Woods Hole Marine Biological Laboratory, and received her MA in zoology from Johns Hopkins University in 1932. People affected by this lose everything. Often they are families that have lived in an area by the sea for generations, or they are retired couples who have invested all of their life savings into their dream home.” A collapsed coastal road at Barmston on Yorkshire’s east coast.

Analizzando tre tipi diversi di costa ne descrive i biomi e la loro importanza ecologica con una prosa accattivante che le fa vedere con occhi completamenti diversi. Ho sempre pensato che il bello delle Scienze Naturali fosse imparare a leggere la natura e il mondo attorno a noi come fossero un libro e questo Saggio può essere un ottimo punto di partenza per chi è appassionato di questi temi.
