The Edge of the Sea

Product Information

Ballantyne is a collaboration with musician and composer Calum Martin, who has been involved in composing, recording, performing and teaching Gaelic music for more than 40 years. Late in the 1950s, Carson turned her attention to conservation, especially environmental problems that she believed were caused by synthetic pesticides. The result was Silent Spring (1962), which brought environmental concerns to an unprecedented share of the American people. Although Silent Spring was met with fierce opposition by chemical companies, it spurred a reversal in national pesticide policy, which led to a nationwide ban on DDT and other pesticides, and it inspired a grassroots environmental movement that led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Carson was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Having previously worked with Craig and The Scottish Ensemble on a commission for the Ryder Cup in 2014 called Martyrdom Variations, it is an honour and a pleasure to be working with him once again.

While oil companies are making big profits, people are losing their homes. We know two people who have been evicted in the last month while a third is under threat of eviction.We say the face of the earth advisedly, for while her earlier book, The Sea Around Us, opened up a whole fascinating new world, it was a world only a few could penetrate by actual experience. Then David reminded everybody “We don’t do encores”. Something anybody who has been The Wedding Present live would know. There are a lot of people who made ‘At The Edge Of The Sea’ possible. The well-deserved list of thank you’s from David included the bands, their crews, those on the merch stall and those who made online steam possible. After saying “See you next year. We’ll leave you with this one” David realised he hadn’t introduced his band. I’m sure everybody knew who they were, but that wasn’t the point. Unsurprisingly each band member got a massive cheer as their name was called out. Melanie Howard of The Wedding Present at Concorde 2, Brighton 12.8.23 (pic Sara-Louise Bowrey) A variety of groups ranging from government institutions to environmental and conservation organizations to scholarly societies have celebrated Carson's life and work since her death. Perhaps most significantly, on June 9, 1980, Carson was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States. A 17¢ Great Americans series postage stamp was issued in her honor the following year; several other countries have since issued Carson postage as well. At The Edge Of The Sea' proudly presents The Wedding Present performing ‘Watusi' in full, together with other songs in a 90 minute set. Plus support. Doors 7PM-10PM. While a sea wall cannot be built around the whole of the UK, campaigners supporting under threat communities want to see them better protected and given more support to protect their homes or relocate them if they need to.

I took a long time to finish the book, because this is a virtual text book! When my family sugggested a trip to the Florida Keys, I was inspired to finish the read.

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. Composers Craig Armstrong and Calum Martin released their brand new collaboration on Modern Recordings, ‘The Edge of the Sea’, an album exploring the unique spiritual tradition of Scottish Gaelic psalm-singing.

The Edge of the Sea (1955) explores the small creatures that live where ocean meets land: the shorelines and tidepools accessible to any beachcomber. Part handbook, part hymn to ecological complexity, it is a book that conveys the sense of wonder in nature for which Carson is justly celebrated. But not all areas are affected equally. The geology of an area of coastline can play a huge impact, with soft sandy cliffs particularly at risk of collapsing in bad weather. But it said “not all settlements will be able to be protected from coastal erosion in the long-term”. From the original review of The Edge of the Sea in The Virginian-Pilot, October 30, 1955: It’s hard to imagine anyone on the face of this earth not being enthralled by Rachel Carson’s The Edge of the Sea.The shore extends approximately from the water's edge to the high-water mark (the furtherest the sea can reach). After this point, you are on the land proper. Between 1964 and 1990, 650 acres (3 km2) near Brookeville in Montgomery County, Maryland were acquired and set aside as the Rachel Carson Conservation Park, administered by the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. In 1969, the Coastal Maine National Wildlife Refuge became the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge; expansions will bring the size of the refuge to about 9,125 acres (37 km2). In 1985, North Carolina renamed one of its estuarine reserves in honor of Carson, in Beaufort. Craig Armstrong’s interest in the Gaelic Psalm tradition led to the creation of a special piece of work c elebrating the spiritual music of the Islands. In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, flooding is the responsibility of the devolved administrations. Can the tide be turned on coastal erosion?

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.

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." It was reported that a 2,000-tonne consignment of granite had begun to arrive to build defences on the shoreline.Steven Ansell – drums/vocals Steven Ansell of Blood Red Shoes at Concorde 2, Brighton 12.8.23 (pic Sara-Louise Bowrey) Areas most at risk of sudden change are those where hurricanes and tropical storms make landfall before they wreak havoc on coastal and inland communities. Is the UK at particular risk?
