For The Birds
Interested in birds? …in Cornell? …in history? …in the
well-being of our planet?
You’ll want to have your very own copy of For
The Birds, my easy-to-read 500-page illustrated account of the
origin and evolution of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. This unique
book is perfect-bound on heavy acid-free recycled paper using soy-based
inks. It includes 65 b+w figures,
a full color frontispiece, eight appendices and a complete index, all of which
contribute to its value and utility as both a chronological reprise of the
Lab’s people, facilities and accomplishments, and as the definitive reference
on the subject.
“The Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology is unique in the world – a confluence in Sapsucker Woods of scientific research, higher education, global public outreach, citizen science, and conservation of biodiversity. From its origins in a crowded office on the Cornell campus, to the opening of a world-class research facility and visitors’ center nearly a century later, this fascinating account chronicles how Arthur Allen’s dream came to play such a crucial role in American ornithology and bird conservation.”
Dr. John W. Fitzpatrick
Louis Agassiz Fuertes Director
