Requests:  0 Summary:  In this affecting memoir, O'Kane, a natural sciences lecturer at the University of Vermont, elegantly weaves personal and natural history as she details how her fascination with birds compelled her to quit her journalism career, return to school at age 45 to get a PhD in environmental studies, and become an ardent conservationist. Interspersed with O'Kane's account of deciding to go back to school after observing the resilience of New Orleans sparrows in the wake of Hurricane Katrina are riveting details about how the birds likely followed humans out of Africa and were alternately treated with admiration (the first sparrows were brought to the U.S. in 1850 because "European immigrants simply missed" them) and contempt (extermination campaigns from the 1700s through the 1930s collectively killed hundreds of millions).   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 598.07234 O'Kane OK Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598.07234 O'Kane OK Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598.07234 O'Kane OK Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 598.07234 O'Kane OK Checked out 05/31/2024 Add Copy to MyList
