Roger Tory Petersonthe Renaissance man who taught Americans the joy of watching birdsalso 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 selfproclaimed 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 selfeffacing 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 Petersons family, friends, and associates to create a fully rounded portrait of this hero of the conservation movement. Neverbeforeseen photographs enhance this intimate portrayal. The book will be timed for his 100th birthday celebration in August, 2008.
