[Rossella]

Questo splendido libro fotografico (insieme al documentario omonimo di Jacques Perrin che illustra) custodisce tra le pagine un frammento della pura armonia e poesia della natura. Mi commuovo ogni volta che lo sfoglio.

[Harlan Prine]

Incessant references to the sexual activity of birds and their great picture taking. If you want maps (they describe the routes) forgetaboutit.

I think I liked this book even more because of the cheesy movie "Fly Away Home" which is how I learned about bird migration beyond my rudimentary understanding of "They fly south for the winter."
