A World of Watchers

Good+ used paperback.  Ex Library.  Call numbers on spine.  Pocket affixed to inside back cover.  Tight binding. Age toned.

A World of Watchers is an informal history of the American passion for birds.  It is about the people who watch birds:  what they saw, learned and felt; how they banded together in fraternal interest and fought each other in brotherly disagreement; how they grew into the largest of all nature groups;  and why they watched birds. 

It provides insights into the often eccentric characters whose research formed the foundation of present-day knowledge and whose efforts gave birth to the Audubon Society and other conservation movements. With illustrations from the work of Louis Agassiz Fuertes.
