Available Copies Details Synopsis
�You don�t have to be a �craniac� . . . to appreciate [this book] . . . All you really need is a passion for prose as good as it gets.� �Chicago TribuneIn legend, cranes often figure as harbingers of heaven and omens of longevity and good fortune. And in nature, they are an �umbrella species� whose well-being assures that of the ecosystem at large. The Birds of Heaven chronicles Peter Matthiessen�s many journeys on five continents in search of the fifteen species of cranes. His telling captures the dilemmas of a planet in ecological crisis, and the deep loss to humankind if these beautiful and imposing creatures are allowed to disappear.
