Birds of the World by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology is a powerful ornithological research platform for biologists and birders. Explore comprehensive life history information on birds, species accounts, photos of hybrids and subspecies, range maps, ornithological notes, and more.
Since its publication, Beloved Beasts has garnered numerous awards and accolades, including a Rachel Carson Award from the Audubon Society and “Best Book of 2021” awards from the Chicago Tribune, Smithsonian Magazine, and others. In addition, it was selected by the E.O. Wilson Foundation as an “All Time Favorite Read.” Beloved Beasts surveys key moments in the history of the conservation movement in the U.S., as Nijhuis follows the personal stories of activists who championed the survival of selected endangered species. Weaving together the personal narratives of the professional and amateur scientists who shaped the modern conservation movement, Nijhuis demonstrates how history, politics, and human foibles complicate scientific endeavors.
