A Conversation with Scott Weidensaul

A Conversation with Scott Weidensaul

“Scott Weidensaul’s gripping journey alongside the world’s feathered wanderers and the people who study them. …Littered with such wonders…[it] rivals the astonishing feats of the birds he chronicles. … As the bird’s flit through these pages, but with ever less frequency through our lives, we can only hope that birders and non-birders alike take inspiration and a call to action from “A World on the Wing.” This is the kind of book we’ve been waiting for.”

–Christian Cooper, The New York Times

Sign up and log on for a conversation with New York Times Best Selling Author, Scott Weidensaul on May 27^th at 7pm! This online only event will find Weidensaul discussing his brand new book, New York Times Bestseller and Editors Pick, A Word on the Wing.

A World on the Wing is at once a celebration of global bird migration, an exploration of our rapidly evolving understanding of the science that underpins it, and a cautionary tale of the challenge’s humans have placed in the way of migrating birds. It conveys both the wonder of bird migration and its global sweep, from the mudflats of the Yellow Sea in China to the wilderness of central Alaska, the remote mountains of northeastern India to the dusty hills of southern Cyprus.

A World on the Wing is also the story of Weidensaul’s own journey over the past two decades from a deeply interested amateur to someone immersed in migration research, using cutting-edge technology to answer questions that have fascinated him all his life–and, with fellow scientists, researchers, and bird lovers, trying to preserve global migratory patterns in the face of climate change and other looming challenges.
