The Life of the Skies
Birding at the End of Nature
Jonathan Rosen
Picador
“
The Life of the Skies
is part birding history, part birding travelogue, centered on Rosen’s regular migration route from his apartment to Central Park . . . with the occasional exotic birding trip. (The descriptions of birding in the Holy Land are particularly beautiful.) . . . It is a thoughtful and engaging journey, one that discusses the history of birding alongside changes in the conception of nature from the 19th century until the present.”—
