It's a fascinating look at a fascinating man, now aged 70 (1978) who has been painting and photographing wild-life for half a century. Before Peterson published his first book, "A Field Guide to Birds" (1934), North American birds were distinguishable only to trained ornithologists; others saw them as mysterious colourful patterns in treetops or as lumpy grey shapes in marshes if they were noticed at all. <60mn>Language:EnglishDetailed holdings information: -
