The bald eagle, symbol of the United States, disappeared from much of its range in the lower 48 states because of direct persecution and DDT. Legal protection, including the Bald Eagle Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act, outlawing DDT helped bald eagles to recover across America. (20021201)
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Reviewed with John E. Becker's The North American Beaver.
Gr. 3-6. These compact entries in the new Returning to Wildlife series celebrate species that have made successful comebacks from near-extinction. In Beaver, Becker relates how a rage for beaver hats, the Hudson Bay Company, the French and Indian War, and Ulysses S. Grant played powerful roles in the beaver's fate and looks at contemporary setbacks caused by the increasing beaver population. In Bald Eagle, he again discusses his subject within a historical context, this time blending in a great deal about the bald eagle in Native American ritual and alerting readers to new perils that threaten the bird's success. Full-color photographs and illustrations are plentiful, and each book concludes with a glossary and a bibliography of mostly current, age-appropriate follow-up sources. Straightforward natural history, with an emphasis on history. Connie Fletcher
