Síntesis:
"As a teenagers, Kumar's family moved from the feet of the Himalayas in northern India to North America. She found herself discouraged by the civilization that she saw contributing to the destruction of nature, and the lives it contained. She began to rediscover her place in the landscape-- and in the cosmos-- by way of watching birds. In these essays, Kumar reflects on the avian world, and how climate change, habitat loss, and the reckless use of pesticides are causing wide-spread extinction of species." -- Adapted from jacket.
