Book Synopsis
A leading expert on the peregrine falcon tells the story of the birds’ dramatic decline and spectacular recovery.

Trade Review

This book belongs next to Cade and Burnham's Return of the Peregrine in any library intent on chronicling what is probably the greatest conservation story of the 20th century.

-- Roland C. Clement * The Auk *

A well written, accessible, and ultimately uplifting tale of survival.
