Return of the Eagle : How America Saved Its National Symbol Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

This is the story of how a nation reversed a “silent spring” and saved the bald eagle from extinction.

This bird of prey was declared the national symbol in 1782 but, by the 1960s, pollution and development had wiped out all but a few dozen.

Grassroots movements started, the American consciousness was raised to all environmental threats, and federal laws were passed to keep the eagle population alive.

This stunning book of full-color photographs and touching stories chronicles this inspiring success story with awe-inspiring shots of eagles in flight.

There is also a one-of-a-kind directory to more than 150 areas in the nation where eagles are likely to be seen in the wild, soaring once again against the blue skies of freedom.

This book is a monument to the efforts that combined animal instinct for survival with the power of the human spirit to change the world.
