Title: All Things Reconsidered: My Birding Adventures By: Roger Tory Peterson, Bill Thompson III Format: Paperback Number of Pages: 320 Vendor: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publication Date: 2007 | Dimensions: 9.00 X 6.00 (inches) Weight: 1 pound ISBN: 0618926151 ISBN-13: 9780618926152 Stock No: WW926152 |
Roger Tory Peterson’s unique perspective on birding comes to life in these highly personal narratives. Here he relates his adventures during a lifetime of birding and traveling the world to observe and record nature. Though Peterson was widely known for his illustrations, this collection reminds us to reconsider his accomplishments as a photographer, for Peterson was nearly as passionate about photography as he was about painting. The essays and photographs included here were carefully selected by Bill Thompson III, the editor of Bird Watcher’s Digest, which ran the column “All Things Reconsidered” during the last twelve years of Peterson’s life.
BILL THOMPSON III is the editor of Bird Watcher’s Digest and the author of many books about birds. He lives in Ohio with his wife, the author and illustrator Julie Zickefoose, and their two children.
These narratives, which cover much more than just birding, are rich, absorbing, and of great general interest. Highly recommended.
Library Journal
This selection of small gems ... displays many of Peterson's little-known interests as well as fascinating descriptions of birding adventures.
[Peterson] displays an elegant and precise writing style....this collection overall stands as a tribute to the joy he experienced through birding.
Publishers Weekly
Birdwatchers will love the book and non-birdwatchers who read it will want to join the ranks of birders.
