Rezension

"In this successful annotated edition, Cherry and Freeman supply crucial scholarly apparatus, providing readers with the explanations and context they need to appreciate this engaging work and the work and career of Mabel Osgood Wright." - Mark V. Barrow, Jr. (author of Nature's Ghosts: Confronting Extinction from the Age of Jefferson to the Age of Ecology) "This volume makes a valuable contribution to a variety of fields. It will be of great appeal to scholars for both research and pedagogical purposes, and rescues Mabel Osgood Wright from historical amnesia. Scholars, educators, birders, and nascent naturalists benefit from this well-illustrated field guide complemented by the editors' compelling pedagogical materials." - Adam Shprintzen (author of The Vegetarian Crusade: The Rise of American Reform Movement 1817-1921)
