Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. Signed on the title page by Hamerstrom and by the illustrator Jack Oar. Uncommon signed (her first book,An Eagle to the Sky, is common signed, but her other books seem the opposite). Birding with a PurposeisHamerstrom's third memoir, following up on her… exploration of her prairie chicken field work in Strictly for the Chickens with this book that's more generally about her passion for birds and her work especially with raptors. Her humor abides again. Hamerstrombroke away from an elite--and as she saw it, effete--background in Boston to becomean important woman in ecology and conservation, the only woman to earn a graduate degree from Aldo Leopold (who encouraged her toward those chickens). Ultimately she was theauthor of a dozen books and more than 150 scientific papers. She twice won the Wildlife Society Award. With her late husband Frederick, she also won the 1971 National Wildlife Federation Award for Distinguished Service to Conservation, and she is a member of the WisconsinWriters Hall of Fame.
