Scott Weidensaul follows awesome kettles of hawks over the Mexican coastal plains, bar-tailed godwits that hitchhike on gale winds 7,000 miles nonstop across the Pacific from Alaska to New Zealand, and myriad songbirds whose numbers have dwindled so dramatically in recent decades. Migration paths form an elaborate global web that shows serious signs of fraying, and Weidensaul delves into the tragedies of habitat degradation and deforestation with an urgency that brings to life the vast problems these miraculous migrants now face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott Weidensaul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0865475911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780865475915\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e North Point Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/14\/2000 pg. 42","brand":"Scott Weidensaul","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045922140415,"sku":"9780865475915","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bbb0e751-2d70-48bc-a3b2-f8ea94fba7d3.jpg?v=1684981565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-on-the-wind-scott-weidensaul-9780865475915","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
