He had a talent for drawing and an interest in birds, and he would spend the next thirty-five years traveling to the remotest regions of his new country-often alone and on foot-to render his avian subjects on paper. The works of art he created gave the world its idea of America. They gave America its idea of itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere Richard Rhodes vividly depicts Audubon's life and career: his epic wanderings; his quest to portray birds in a lifelike way; his long, anguished separations from his adored wife; his ambivalent witness to the vanishing of the wilderness. \u003ci\u003eJohn James Audubon: The Making of an American\u003c\/i\u003e is a magnificent achievement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Richard Rhodes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 037571393X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375713934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.96h x 5.32w x 1.14d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/11\/2006 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2006 pg. 33\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013 pg. 46","brand":"Richard Rhodes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992966103295,"sku":"9780375713934","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_881ad5e7-de3b-4cdc-9b01-858770d74ad6.jpg?v=1683321787","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/john-james-audubon-richard-rhodes-9780375713934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
