The Birds of Heaven Travels with Cranes Hardcover - 2001
by Peter Matthiessen; Robert Bateman
First line

Description:
North Point Press, 2001. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Inscribed by Paul Hunter on the half-title page to noted American poet William Matchett. 8vo. - over 7 3/4 in. - 9 3/4 in. xv + 349pp., including notes and index. Illustrated with color plates and b/w reproductions by Robert Bateman. A Very Good copy with light shelfwear in a Very Good dust jacket with light creasing and bumping. // 'In 'The Birds of Heaven,' Peter Matthiessen has woven together journeys in search of the fifteen species of cranes in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America, and Australia. As he tracks them (and their declining numbers) in the company of scientists, conservationists, and regional people encountered along the way, he captures the dilemmas of a planet in ecological crisis, and the deeper loss to humankind if these beautiful and imposing creatures are allowed to disappear.' ~ Publisher Out of Print.
