Prima edizione
(Hardcover, 1969). 1969 1st edition. Large 8vo (165 x 250mm). Ppxxii,596. B&w photographs, ills. Light tan cloth, spine titled in brown. Good-plus in frayed dust-wrapper. Bookplate of falconry book collector, Count Umberto Caproni di Taliedo. "This book describes a contemporary ecological disaster and the search to explain it. Its extensive analysis offers, on the one hand, an unusual landmark in population biology and, on the other, perhaps the requiem of a species. Once the prized favorite of medieval falconers, the cosmopolitan peregrine falcon was, until quite recently, a remarkably successful example of avian evolution. By the early 1960's, however, peregrine populations were catastrophically declining on two continents. Other raptors were mysteriously and rapidly decreasing too. In an effort to establish the cause or causes of these unprecedented events, an international conference of scientists, naturalists, and conservationists was convened at the University of Wisconsin in 1965." .
