Eternity of Eagles

From one of the foremost authors and naturalists in the country comes a compulsively readable natural and social history of the most fascinating bird in the world-the eagle-with an introduction by Annie Proulx. Author Stephen J. Bodio traces our love-hate relationship with these "living dinosaurs," from Neolithic rock art and Native American religion through the practices of Kazakh falconers who use them to hunt wolves, all the way to contemporary art and popular culture. He examines the natural history, evolution, and habits of eagles, as well as such contemporary threats as habitat loss and pesticides. An Eternity of Eagles is an abundantly illustrated celebration of all things eagle, by a naturalist who has kept eagles himself and ridden with the eagle tribes of Central Asia.
