Description:
Madison, Wisconsin: The University of Wisconsin Press. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. 1969. First Edition. Hardcover. This book is the result of a 1965 international conference sponsored by the University of Wisconsin on the collapse of the peregrine falcon population on two continents.

The collapse also hit eagles and other raptors, probably caused by DDT. No previous owner marks. Text, photographs, maps, and charts all clean. Contains 32 pages of B&W photographs.
