In The Birds of Heaven, Peter Matthiessen weaves together his search for fifteen species of cranes in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and Australia. Matthiessen explores the dilemmas of a planet in ecological crisis and the deep loss humankind will experience if these beautiful birds are allowed to disappear. The compelling text is accompanied by stunning colour plates by renowned wildlife artist Robert Bateman, whose exquisite renderings capture the essence of cranes. |
