Just Eagles
Über
From early Native Americans to schoolchildren today, bald eagles hold a special place of reverence in our hearts and minds, spanning time and place. The eagle is a symbol of cultures, of a nation and of freedom. It is a symbol also of our changing view of natural resources and wild places: a change from a view of endless abundance with no limits to a growing understanding of the limits of our shared natural world, of our responsibility in it and its potential loss. It is a symbol of a society awakening to the knowledge that our growing population, industrial ways and pollution can have dire effects on the world around us if we are not careful.In the year 2000, the Bald Eagle will be dropped from the Endangered Species List, marking the successful recovery of this great bird's nesting population in the United States. Just Eagles celebrates the eagle's majestic beauty and power through 90 breathtaking photographs and text that are designed to guide the reader in finding, watching and understanding eagles safely. The text comprehensively discusses mating, territory, offspring, migration and the famous eyes, talons and hunting abilities of this amazing bird of prey. With the eagles removal from the Endangered Species List, the eagle is now a symbol of hope and recovery, of a commitment by a society to understand its connection to the natural world, to value that world around us and to work to right the wrong of a species in decline.
