"The Sense of Wonder" by Rachel Carson, published by The Nature Company in Berkeley, California, in 1990, is a beautifully bound hardcover edition featuring stunning photographs by William Neill. This particular edition is a second printing, differentiating it from the original publication in 1956. Carson, renowned for her influential work in environmental literature, originally published this piece in "Woman’s Home Companion" under the title "Help Your Child to Wonder." The 1990 edition by The Nature Company is notable for its high-quality production by The Yolla Bolly Press and printing by Dai Nippon Printing Company in Tokyo. This edition is a testament to Carson's enduring legacy in promoting the appreciation and understanding of nature. The book is in excellent condition, showcasing the synergy between Carson's prose and Neill's photography. A perfect acquisition for collectors of environmental literature and photography enthusiasts.
