DETAILS: very good dust-jacket, attractive copy, near fine brown half-cloth with orange boards, slightest shelf wear but appears little used if at all. DAVIS JR., WILLIAM E. Dean of the birdwatchers: a biography of Ludlow Griscom. Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1994, xvi, 234pp., . "Drawing on the writings of Griscom and his contemporaries, this biography reveals the complex man who popularized birdwatching as a more democratic, less aristocratic alternative to hunting and influenced a generation of notable future "birders," including Roger Tory Peterson, Joseph J. Hickey, and Allan Cruickshank. During the ten years he was a curator of birds for the American Museum of Natural History, Griscom set forth principles of field identification that revolutionized birding as a hobby and a sport. He also became an international authority on the birds of Central and South America, as well as the local authority on avian populations in the New York City and Boston areas."--BOOK JACKET. "Davis vividly portrays this odd, often abrasive, man whose brusque and assertive manner tended to polarize associates into pro- and anti-Griscom factions. He follows Griscom's involvement with such groups as the National Audubon Society, National Wildlife Federation, and Ducks Unlimited. Griscom eloquently fought for the establishment of federal preserves at Plum Island and Monomoy in Massachusetts. He also spoke against tendencies toward petty competition among different environmental groups.". 9781560983101 ISBN 1560983108 18.30.
