520 _aRoger Tory Peterson - the Renaissance man who taught Americans the joy of watching birds - also invented the modern field guide. His 1934 landmark "Field Guide to the Birds" was the first bird-identification guide designed to be used in the field by the average person. This work presents a portrait of this hero of the conservation movement.
