George J. Wallace spent his career as an ornithologist at Michigan State University where his papers are now held. See his"In Memoriam" piece in The Aukfor a sketch of his life. As part of his studies, he played a pivotal role in conservation history when in 1961 he linked the deaths of robins on Michigan States campus to spraying DDT to treat Dutch Elm Disease during the previous decade.

Each chapter includes a list of references for further investigation including his own papers.
