Condición: As New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. First Edition. A 1" tear to dustjacket, with some edgewear. The aim of this American book as stated by the editor is to widen public understanding of birds by giving a broad perspective of them as they affect and are affected by people, other birds and other forms of life and activities. He believes that this is the best way to achieve public support. His book should do just this. It is one of the most wide-ranging, popular symposiums on the subject of birds for the ordinary bird-watcher and bird lover in existence, imposing not only for its subject matter, which naturally chiefly concerns American birds, but also for the range of authors, beginning with a foreword by Stewart Udall, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, who emphasizes that in this technological age there is necessity for us to learn about the inter-relationships of all living things. All aspects of birds are treated, beginning with a look at the birds themselves and what they are, what they mean to us, their place in the arts, in recreation, as an economic problem, in nature, and finally their conservation and protection. Although each of the fifty-four chapters within the sections is comparatively short, the depth of treatment is impressive and often gives a comprehensive summary of the particular subject. Illustrations include 372 black and white photographs, mostly of very high standard, and 80 wash drawings by Bob Hines.
