Hardback. Condizione: Good. A Book Sense Notable Title As Gessner pursues the ospreys] down the Eastern Seaboard and even into Cuba with a BC documentary team at his heels, a lively tale of fish-eating raptors, broken embargoes and a nail-biting race to the finish line ensues . . . Gessner finds his Mecca not in the thrilling launch or triumphant end of his own 7,000-mile migration, but in the living done in between.--Jennifer Winger, Nature Conservancy Magazine An engaging, lyrical guide to osprey migration, Cuba, and a common humanity.--Orion Magazine Gessner's finest book, unpredictable in the best way, and funny, too; an adventure book and much more--a book of contact by a writer who quickly becomes an audible and visible presence.--Clyde Edgerton, author of Solo An interesting and complex book . . . In a surprisingly short amount of time, David Gessner has evolved into one of our most accomplished and singular writers about nature. While many authors treat their experiences in nature with a hushed earnestness and a suspect neatness, Gessner writes about the messy humanness of being outside.--Mark Lynch, Bird Observer An ideal traveling companion and guide. Soaring with Fidel lets you hover for a while in the thermals of fine language, seeing the same old world from a fresh and invigorating altitude.--Ben Steelman, Wilmington (NC) Star-News.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. In Very Good+ condition with Very Good+ Dustjacket. One September, after writing about ospreys on Cape Cod for years, David Gessner impulsively decided to follow the birds on their annual migration. Each fall these graceful raptors, with wingspans of up to six feet, cruise over the eastern United States, then soar over Cuba and winter in South America, returning north with the spring. In 2004, Gessner went along for the ride, traveling illegally into the mountains of Cuba and deep into Venezuela as he competed with the crew of a BBC documentary to be the first to follow the full migration, trailing the birds by car, boat, foot, and plane. He called his favorite osprey Fidel.Soaring with Fidel is about the exhilaration of migration, but it is also a deeper meditation on the nature of human happiness. In describing the thrill of travel, the antics of these swashbuckling birds, and the cast of characters he meets (and drinks with) along the way, including scientists, students, tour guides, and an online group of birders, Gessner gives us a profound lesson in the importance of following what you love.…
