Titelbeschreibung

In this book, the famous American ecologist and zoologist Karl Safina goes on a journey after albatrosses in the hope that they will open their world to him. The guide on the journey is a very real albatross named Amelia. Before our eyes, a dramatic and poetic story of struggle and hope, exceptional endurance and vitality is unfolding. In an effort to learn more about albatrosses, along the way, the author gets acquainted with many representatives of the wildlife that live in the ocean. Safina manages not only to see the world in which they live, but also to look at it through their eyes. Weaving the metaphorical with the real, he harmoniously combines scientific and historical facts with adventure and exciting plot twists. Together with Amelia, we move through space and time, penetrating into the remote and inaccessible regions of the albatross habitat. Through the Eyes of an Albatross was awarded the John Burroughs Medal for Best Science and Conservation and was named Best Book of the Year by the US National Academy of Sciences.
