Forlagets egne omtale:
This
year, 1983, the British Trust for Ornithology celebrates its first 50 years and
this volume records much of the history of birdwatching and ornithology since
the early 1930s.
The book is not a history of the BTO, but many of the Trust’s achievements
helped fashion the development and direction of ornithology over the decades,
and major aspects of the Trust’s work rightly have detailed treatment. The
book ranges widely, it looks at the changing bird as well as the changing bird
watcher and records the work of related conservation bodies, it considers the
future and the past and includes an extensive section of useful facts and
figures, whilst never losing sight of the central theme which is the book’s
title.
