About This Item
New York: Tarcher. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2000. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 1585420069 . 359 pages : illustrations. Exceptionally nice copy with publishers remainder mark and archival clear cover. Christopher Cokinos embarked on ten years of detective work. Traveling from Bird Rock in the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Louisiana's tangled bayou in search of those who stalked these birds and those who tried to save them, he discovered strange stories and glorious quests, tales of scientific heroism and political stupidity, of inconceivable apathy and equally astonishing personal devotion."A compelling blend of science, history, politics, and memoir, Hope Is the Thing with Feathers draws on previously unpublished photograph and original documents to make these long-vanished birds come alive. ; Remainder; 9.70 X 6.60 X 1.10 inches; 352 pp pages .
