5.0 out of 5 stars Informative, inspiring, brilliantly showcased with photos., July 14, 2000

This review is from: The Bald Eagle - Endangered No More (Wildlife Winners) (Hardcover)

On July 4, 2000, the bald eagle will be officially removed from the List of Endangered Species. The Bald Eagle: Endangered No More is in celebration of a species that has been saved from extinction and begins with Neil Armstrong's famous Moon Mission words "The Eagle has landed." The final page shows a healthy eagle family nesting at the Kennedy Space Center in the 1990s. Highly recommended for personal, school and community library wildlife collections, Mac Priebe's informative and inspiring text is perfectly showcased by the artistry of Jennifer Priebe, 39 full color photographs, 3 black and white photos, maps, charts, glossary, and a website list.

This review is from: The Bald Eagle - Endangered No More (Wildlife Winners) (Hardcover)

I knew Mac as a child, and it is both fitting and rewarding to see his passionate interest in wildlife has blossomed into a solid writing career on the topic so dear to his heart.

The book is informative, interesting and entertaining -- as a highschool teacher I highly reccommend the book to all students interested in learning about the history and biology associated with our noble national bird.

The book provided value on every page, and I (and my students) are eagerly awaiting Mac's future works!

By A Customer

This review is from: The Bald Eagle - Endangered No More (Wildlife Winners) (Hardcover)

In his Sceond book dealing with endangered species Mac Priebe again tells a compelling tale of the sucess of the removal of the second species from the endangered list.

This book maintains a high level of educational value with out overwelming the intended audence with scientific data.

I am a bird watcher for many years and realy did enjoy this book.
