Return of the Peregrine: A North American Saga of Tenacity and Teamwork

Very good hardcover in dust jacket (rubbed, with several chips and tears.)

The Peregrine Falcon restoration is the largest and most comprehensive endeavor to restore wild populations of an endangered species ever accomplished. This comprehensive, balanced account tells the full story for the first time--with personal anecdotes, scientific perspective, and thoughtful analysis accompanied by nearly 500 photographs and paintings, many with historical significance. Authors include 69 of the biologists, falconers, and other conservationists who shaped the recovery effort, and an "Honor Roll" lists more than 3,000 field personnel who contributed to Peregrine releases, research, and restoration.
