Field Guide to Mexican Birds by Roger Tory Peterson
A long-awaited debut collection of stories from an author who's mystified by what moves the human heart, Animals in Peril explores our relationships with animals, other people, and ourselves. Representing the furry, the feathered, the four-legged and the winged, the cast of Animals in Peril includes a coronoray thrombotic shih tzu from Chicago, a junko that flies into a skyscraper, a decapitated skunk in Ohio, and a runaway roan, depicted in black-and-white watercolor images by the author. At times humorous, melancholic, and self-reflective, these Midwestern stories examine the love we extend to our pets, how we project human complexities upon animal behavior, and how little we actually know about the 1.5 million species of animals with whom we share this planet.
Peterson, Roger Tory: - ROGER TORY PETERSON, one of the world's greatest naturalists, received every major award for ornithology, natural science, and conservation as well as numerous honorary degrees, medals, and citations, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. The Peterson Identification System has been called the greatest invention since binoculars.
