Title: Return of the condor
Description: An insider's view of the remarkable tale of saving a species from the brink of extinction. Down to a population of only twenty-two in the 1980s, the condor owes its survival and recovery to a team of scientists who flouted conventional wisdom and pursued the most controversial means to save it. Journalist John Moir, who covered the condor recovery effort for magazines and newspapers for years, shows the depth of their passion and courage and details the bitter controversy that led to a national debate over how to save America's largest bird.--From publisher description.
