Peterson's Birds The Art and Photography of Roger Tory Peterson

Roger Tory Peterson passed away July 28, 1996, at the age of eighty-seven. At the time of his death, he was in the midst of editing the fifth edition of his landmark A Field Guide to the Birds of Eastern and Central North America, in addition to several other book projects. He was also traveling to speak about and share his love of birds with others. And he was still traveling to watch his beloved birds. He left behind millions of people whose lives were enriched by his teachings about the natural world. He also left an enduring challenge for us: to find a way to embrace, respect, and sustain the natural order of the world, which protects and nourishes all living things. Roger Tory Peterson would want us to recognize the beauty of the world around us and to celebrate the joy of its creaturesZinsser, William K. is the author of 'Peterson's Birds The Art and Photography of Roger Tory Peterson' with ISBN 9780789306869 and ISBN 0789306867.
