Rosenthal Mon, 30 Jun 2008 20:52:40 +0000 http://birdfreak.com/?p=1027#comment-4136 Thanks for your review, which I really enjoyed. People who love birds and who have a strong interest in promoting nature education will also like my new book, Birdwatcher: The Life of Roger Tory Peterson, out now from The Lyons Press. Peterson played a central role in the expansion of birding not only in the US, but also Europe and East Africa. My book details these things, as well as demonstrating the breadth of his involvement and leadership in nature education and many of the most celebrated conservation causes of the 20th century. From his early 20s onward, Peterson was teaching about all aspects of nature, sometimes informally, sometimes formally, through his writings, lectures, books and work with various conservation organizations. Also, the reader learns about Peterson the Man: what motivated him, personal and professional challenges he faced, and his personal impact on many of today's top birders and conservationists. I ended up talking to well over 100 people from around the world to put together this portrait of a complex and driven man. Birders, natural history buffs, and conservationists alike will enjoy the book. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at ejrose@aol.com. Thanks.

Adults would also do well to accept its message and incorporate it into their own respective lives. It’s truly an amazing book with a critical message for all who have any contact with children.
