In this conservation classic, originally published 55 ago, Fred Bodsworth tells the story of a solitary Eskimo curlew's perilous migration and search for a mate. Hunted to the brink of extinction, the lone survivor comes to stand for the entirety of a species and for all in nature that is at risk. This new edition includes a foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet W.S. Merwin, who discovered the book, and an afterword by physicist Murray Gell-Mann.
