The Biography of a California Condor
By Roger Caras
Illustrations by Charles Frace
Foreword by Roland C. Clemens
Little, Brown and Company, Boston, MA, 1970, First Edition
Hardcover, vear very good condition, slight lean to spine, dust jacket is near very good, with minor edge wear
In this fascinating and instructive work Roger Caras follows the life cycle of a male condor from infancy through training and maturation to adulthood, when the spectacular bird is capable of the increasingly vital process of reproduction. Source of the Thunder describes the encounters which the condor inevitably has with hazards - natural and man-made - and fictionally portrays the very real threat endangering both the individual California condor and the entire species.
This compelling portrait of a threatened creature's struggle for survival is an important addition to Roger Caras's series of fictionalized but factual accounts of America's disappearing wildlife.
This book is beautifully illustrated with black & white drawings.
#2 THE FOREST
Roger Caras
Illustrated by Norman Arlott
Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, MA, 1980, First Paperback Printing
Trade softcover, good condition, minor shelf wear, a bit of soiling
A female golden eagle soars over a verdant valley and comes to rest atop a conifer tree. Thus begins this extraordinary story of life in a northwestern American forest. Roger Caras, author of some of our finest nature literature, here takes up the whole balance of life - plant as well as animal - that makes up a wild forest. During the eagle's three-week stay, we see everything: the insect wars within the wood of giant western hemlocks and Douglas firs; the layers of microscopic life, from the forest's upper stories to the crypto zoa below ground; the struggles of bear, weasel, mountain lion, bobcat, snake, and other species to survive. The skill of Caras, along with the superb line drawings by Norman Arlott, makes all these aspects of forest life equally dramatic and fascinating. The Forest should become a classic of nature writing: an enlightening - and unforgettable - picture of the full scope of the web of life.
