Dunlap. Published by Oxford University Press America is a nation of ardent, knowledgeable birdwatchers. But how did it become so? And what role did the field guide play in our passion for spotting, watching, and describing birds? In the Field, Among the Feathered tells the history of field guides to birds in America from the Victorian era to the present, relating changes in the guides to shifts in science, the craft of field identification, and new technologies for the mass reproduction of images. Drawing on his experience as a passionate birder and on a wealth of archival research, Thomas Dunlap shows how the twin pursuits of recreation and conservation have inspired birders and how field guides have served as the preferred method of informal education about nature for well over a century. http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/HistoryOther/EnvironmentalHistory/?view=usa&ci=9780199734597 _______________ Amy McIntyre, Managing Director Association for the Study of Literature and Environment PO Box 502 Keene, NH 03431-0502 Phone & Fax: 603-357-7411 Email: info@asle.org Website: www.asle.org --Boundary_(ID_WIe8BGTq9GPEJ54zoaR7Ew) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1 http-equiv=Content-Type> <META name=GENERATOR content="MSHTML 9.00.8112.16437"></HEAD> <BODY style="PADDING-LEFT: 10px; PADDING-RIGHT: 10px; PADDING-TOP: 15px" id=MailContainerBody leftMargin=0 topMargin=0 CanvasTabStop="true" name="Compose message area"> <DIV><FONT face=Calibri>Sounds like some subscribers to this list might be interested in the following:</FONT><BR><BR><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> <DIV><SPAN class=apple-style-span><SPAN style="COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt"></SPAN></SPAN><I><A title="http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/HistoryOther/EnvironmentalHistory/?view=usa&ci=9780199734597 CTRL + Click to follow link" href="http://www.oup.com/us/catalog/general/subject/HistoryOther/EnvironmentalHistory/?view=usa&ci=9780199734597" target=_blank moz-do-not-send="true">In the Field, Among the Feathered: A History of Birders and Their Guides</A></I> by Thomas R.
