β¦ Synopsis
In this conservation classic, originally published more than sixty years ago, Fred Bodsworth tells the story of a solitary Eskimo curlew's perilous migration and search for a mate. The lone survivor comes to stand for the entirety of a species on the brink of extinction, and for all in nature that is endangered.
This new paperback edition includes a foreword by Pulitzer Prizeβwinning poet W.S. Merwin and an afterword by Nobel Prizeβwinning physicist Murray GellβMann.
