Thomas Eugene "Tom" Robbins (born July 22, 1932) is an American novelist.
 His best-selling novels are "seriocomedies" (also known as "comedy-drama"), often wildly poetic stories with a strong social and philosophical undercurrent, an irreverent bent, and scenes extrapolated from carefully researched bizarre facts.
 His novel "Even Cowgirls Get the Blues" was made into a movie in 1993 by Gus Van Sant and stars Uma Thurman, Lorraine Bracco, and Keanu Reeves.
The Sea Around Us is a prize-winning and best-selling book by the American marine biologist Rachel Carson, first published as a whole by Oxford University Press in 1951.
 It reveals the science and poetry of the sea while ranging from its primeval beginnings to the latest scientific probings.
 Often described as "poetic," it was Carson's second published book and the one that launched her into the public eye and a second career as a writer and conservationist; in retrospect it is counted the second book of her so-called sea trilogy.
Skinny Legs and All, novelist Tom Robbins' fifth book, was published in 1990 by Bantam Books.
 As with all of Robbins' novels, it weaves disparate and seemingly unrelated themes into a single narrative.
Rachel Carson is a 2017 American documentary film directed by Michelle Ferrari.

 Her 1962 book "Silent Spring" would serve to advance the environmental movement.
 The film aired on the PBS network series "American Experience" on January 24, 2017.

Under the Sea Wind: A Naturalist's Picture of Ocean Life (1941) is the first book written by the American marine biologist Rachel Carson.
 It was published by Simon & Schuster in 1941, when it received very good reviews but sold poorly.
 After the great success of a sequel "The Sea Around Us" (Oxford, 1951), it was reissued by Oxford University Press; that edition was an alternate Book-of-the-Month Club selection and became another bestseller.
 It is recognised today as one of the "definitive works of American nature writing," and is in print as one of the Penguin Nature Classics.
RV "Rachel Carson" is the name of three research vessels, named after the American marine biologist and conservationist Rachel Carson.
