| Publisher Description: This book looks at the Kirtland's warbler and wildlife conservation in a way that no other book has. It looks back on the history of this unique bird, examines the people and policies that kept the warbler from extinction, explores the cult of personality that surrounds it, and examines the challenges of the future--all through the eyes of the people who have acted so passionately on its behalf. The story of the Kirtland's warbler is a story of complex relationships between the bird and its environment, the humans who interact with it, and the complex government policies that affect it. And now, just when it appears that the Kirtland's warbler has recovered for good, a change in its status may send the warbler's population into a downward spiral once again. |
