5.0 out of 5 stars really intriguing, November 27, 2001

By A Customer

These pictures are a fresh look at the interplay between Nature and Culture - the photographs are beautiful, the text rich and entertaining, and the fusion between the two is great. One of the nicest photography books in a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning in every sense, November 29, 2001

By A Customer

This book is stunning in every sense. A beautiful collection of bird photographs, interesting & insightful essay, with classic yet modern design marrying the two. This book clearly illustrates the delicate interaction between man and nature. I think this book should appeal to many different individuals-- fans of Schrager's work, fans of Byatt's work, those interested in photography, as well as the birding population in general. I loved it!
