Naturalist, illustrator, photographer, and birder extraordinaire Roger Tory Peterson died in 1996, sixty-two years after first publishing A Field Guide to the Birds, which remains a bestseller all these years later. All Things Reconsidered is a collection of Peterson's essays (with such intriguing titles as "Memories of Manhattan" and "A Bar in Botswana") from his column of the same name in Bird Watcher's Digest. Bill Thompson III, editor of that publication, selected the essays, illustrations, and photographs that make up this delightful anthology. The writing is bright and lively. What a super gift for a bird watcher--it might even inspire the hobby in those on the brink!
