Roger Tory Peterson--the Renaissance man who taught Americans the
joy of watching birds--also invented the modern field guide. His
1934 landmark Field Guide to the Birds was the first book designed
to go outdoors and help people identify the elements of nature.
This self-proclaimed student of nature combined spectacular writing
with detailed illustrations to ultimately publish many other books,
winning every possible award and medal for natural science,
ornithology, and conservation. Peterson also traveled the world,
giving lectures on behalf of the National Audubon Society and,
despite his self-effacing demeanor, becoming recognized as the key
force to alerting the public to the importance of preserving
nature. There are now an estimated 70 million birdwatchers in the
United States. For this meticulously detailed biography, Rosenthal
has interviewed more than a hundred of Peterson's family, friends,
and associates to create a fully rounded portrait of this hero of
the conservation movement. Never-before-seen photographs enhance
this intimate portrayal. The book will be timed for his 100th
birthday celebration in August, 2008.
