 The Gift of Birds : True Encounters with Avian Spirits
edited by Amy G. Carlson & Larry HabeggerFrom the Travelers' Tales series. There are more people involved in birding in America than in any other recreational activity. This remarkable collection of avian encounters will appeal to the millions of bird lovers everywhere. "Birds seem to understand something we have never understood about the freedom of movement...birds know no borders," declares one of the authors in this rich and varied collection of bird-inspired tales. They soar, they fly, they glide -- even our language for birds evokes travel of the most impassioned and graceful kind. For one with even a touch of wanderlust, birds in the wild embody the dream of pure, unadulterated freedom. And, sometimes with subtlety, sometimes with a flourish, birds impart the nature of place -- its variety, its colors, its wildness, even its destruction. Notable authors include: - Louise Erdrich
- Barry Lopez
- Diane Ackerman
- Terry Tempest Williams
- Peter Matthiessen
