Description - The California Condor by Noel F. R. Snyder
As the largest flying bird of North America, and one of the most endangered, the Californian condor has been a source of great interest. The book offers up-to-date information on both the biology and conservation of the condor, as analysed by two field biologists with a special interest in the birds. The authors present first a review of the history of condor studies and conservation efforts, then a detailed examination of the biology and recent decline of the species, and finally a hopeful plan for ultimate restoration of the species as a viable member of wild ecosystems. The book is illustrated with photographs covering numerous aspects of natural history of the species and recent conservation efforts on its behalf. Conservation of the Californian condor has always been controversial and this book offers a broad treatment of the many political conflicts of the 20th century.
