Bryan Bland is famed as one of birding's greatest storyellers, and he uses this book to answer the question 'Where is the profit in birding?' emphatically. In addition to the birds, there's history, dramatic scenery, location filming, plus much else from world politics to the crucial role of music, all featured in this light-hearted examination.
Synopsis
The author has led thousands of birding tours to more than 70 countries. On one such trip a bemused waiter once posed the question: Where is the profit in birding? This title examines the profit of birding. Suitable for birders and non-birders alike, it is accompanied by many of the author's photographs and line-drawings.
