From Library Journal
For 100 days in 1953, ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson and naturalist James Fisher traveled 30,000 miles looking for wild America. Now Australian naturalist Hancock and her colleagues have traveled the same North American route, noting changes in the various landscapes and their inhabitants. While noting the loss of wildness in some areas, she was encouraged by the fact that much is still quite wild, though it is now a managed wild. The growth of a grassroots conservationist movement has pressured governments at all levels to provide parks and sanctuaries to protect wildlife from encroachment. Moreover, the spirit of cooperation among different interest groups has brought more balanced conservation decisions. Recommended for most libraries. Ken Phifer, Montgomery Cty. P.L. & Montgomery Coll. Lib., Rockville, Md.
