John Taliaferro is the author of several other highly acclaimed biographies, and his skill as a writer is on full display in this consummate work on George Bird Grinnell. Of all of the giants of the conservation movement, Grinnell is probably the least recognized. In the late 1800s Grinnell, a zoologist and anthropologist by training, came to realize that the United States was undergoing an alarming decline of birds and other wildlife. As a consequence, he began writing and editing countless articles arguing for sane conservation policies. Putting his words into action, he spearheaded the formation of the first Audubon Society, and  along with Theodore Roosevelt, was a founding member of the Boone and Crockett Club, organized for the protection of wildlife habitat. Based on exhaustive research, Taliaferro synthesizes a vivid portrait of Grinnell, clearly establishing his place in the pantheon of American conservationists.
