 Her work draws connections between nature and home, the borders of interrelated communities, and the growing separation between man and nature.Carson took inspiration from natural history authors such as Henry Williamson and Henry Beston, and uses her scientific expertise to ground "Under the Sea Wind" in scientifically accurate detail on each animal's appearance, diet and behavior.Carson's stated goal of using poetic prose and personifying sea life was "to make the sea and its life as vivid a reality for those who may read the book as it has become for me during the past decade."
