The Sea Serpents Around Us, by Louis and Lois Darling, published 1965. Louis Darling illustrated the Beverly Cleary books (Ramona, Ribsy, etc.) and The Mouse On The Motorcycle books. He and his wife Lois together illustrated this wonderful book. The Sea Serpents Around Us tells the history of sea serpents, including several famous examples like the Loch Ness Monster and the Manchester Sea Serpent. A whimsical ancestral chart is shown, which includes dinosaurs, dragons, and crocodiles.

Drawings by Lois and Louis Darling (illustrator). Later printing. Silent Spring, a stand against the wide-spread use of synthetic pesticides, is Rachel Carson's (1907-1964) most influential book. Fighting both cancer and chemical companies, Carson informed the public of the detrimental affects of such pesticides as DDT, thus inspiring the nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides as well as the formation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. A powerful female figure, marine biologist, and conservationist, it is no surprise Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, albeit posthumously, by President Jimmy Carter.
