No human being appears in these pages for more than a moment, and that is the whole design. Rachel Carson hands the story instead to Silverbar the sanderling, to Scomber the mackerel hatched among millions of drifting eggs of which almost none will live out the week, and to Anguilla the eel, who slips from a hill pond on a black autumn night and swims down river and out past the shoals to spawn in the deep warm water of the Sargasso Sea.
Its wings were pure black, and from tip to tip their spread was more than the length of a man’s arm.
The blurb, the gist, the why of the day and the work itself are in the app. The first button needs it on this device; the second gets it there.
