Louis Joseph Halle (1910–1998)

It is an excellent coffee table-sized book filled with the most splendidly beautiful photographs as National Geographic is as well-known to capture as I've ever seen. It also has well-written compositions by nature writers from Audubon, the Smithsonian, Natural History, etc., about bird natural history and conservation efforts. Any bird lover would want this book.

Highly recommended!

Halle's books help us in our attempt to think, and think clearly. We must think clearly before we can do much of anything else. We put the cart ahead of the horse in american education. We must teach our young to think, before we throw all that information at them. Halle is just the man to do this for us. He's also a first rate nature writer.
