Now reissued to tie in to the 2011 major motion picture release
from 20th Century Fox starring Steve Martin, Jack Black, and Owen
Wilson, the critically heralded book by award-winning journalist
Mark Obmascik--"a feathered version of It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World " ( Outside ).
With engaging, unflappably wry humor, The Big Year re-creates
the grand, grueling, expensive, and occasionally vicious, "extreme"
365-day contest for a new North American birdwatching record. In
this thrilling real-life adventure, three men battle the daunting
forces of nature--and each other--in their whirlwind 275,000-mile
odyssey from Texas to British Columbia, Cape May to Alaska. One of
them achieves an astonishing record unlikely ever to be bested.
A captivating tour of human and avian nature, passion and
paranoia, honor and deceit, fear and loathing, The Big Year shows
the lengths to which people will go to pursue their dreams, to
conquer and categorize--no matter how low the stakes.
