This book starts out with an interesting conversation between Wilson and Thoreau at the Walden cabin. While this only takes place in Wilson's imagination, it goes a long way towards showing how the study of life has changed since the mid-1800s and how much further our understanding of the complexity... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Random House
Price: $17.16
Customer Review:
I enjoyed this book, but the title is a bit misleading. Not only is the last flight of the scarlet macaw not on the horizon (there are tons of them in south america), but there is very little about the bird in the book. Having said that, the book is lively and very illuminating as to how... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

Another ocean classic by Peters, this one on Tuna, mostly the Bluefin tuna.
Contains history, biological, economics and environmental info.

from Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission
Customer Review:
You will want to read this book at least twice. It may be a hard read for some that don't enjoy reading native american dialogue in the white man's tongue. If this doesn't bring some shame to any whites that read this true account from Geronimo, you're heartless! | 4.0 / 5.0
