Princeton University Press, Date: 2014. xvii, 524, 94 col+60 b/w illus. . HB. Fine copy, as new..

Ten Thousand Birds brings this history vividly to life through the work and achievements of those who advanced the field. Drawing on a wealth of archival material and in-depth interviews, this fascinating book reveals how ...
