By presenting various cycles of the migration in four time periods from 1860 to 1980 Johnsgard a prominent naturalist is able to show how man's encroachments have imperiled the flocks. The story is enriched by the author's exquisite illustrations by Zuni prayers and by Eskimo and Pueblo legends. Although the persons described here are fictitious the locations and descriptions of the places are as factual as possible as are the descriptions of the biology and behavior of the cranes. ; 8"Tall; 116 pages .

LIFE CLASSIC PHOTOGRAPHS A Personal Interpretation
Boston: New York Graphic Society. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1988. First Edition. Hardcover. 0821217143; Other than a barely noticeable bow Binding and contents are almost like new. Very minor wear on the clean complete dust jacket. ; Glossy red boards white lettering. 100 color and b/w photos many of them covering most of two pages. PHOTOGRAPHY. From his privileged vantage as both star LIFE photographer and picture editor for more than 25 years Leongard gives us an insider's account richly spiced with anecdotes. We discover that what happens behind the camera frequently is more important that what passes in front of it. In these pages we see the masterworks of LIFE's greats - all fundamentally different personalities with one trait in common: they each believe according to Leongard that they are the best in the world at what they do. This is the first book to discuss LIFE photographs from the point of view of the photographer; it presents a panoply of pictures that strike us with their verve energy and vitality. The photo on the DJ's front panel is worth the price of the book all by itself! ; 10 x 10"; 191 pages . New York Graphic Society hardcover
