Bodio,
a traveler who writes about hunting and nature, delivers a beautiful
follow-up to his book about his travels with the hunters of Mongolia, Eagle Dreams
with paintings by such artists as John
James Audubon, Louis Agassiz Fuertes, Emil Doepler and especially the
Russian Vadim Gorbatov, whose paintings and color photography of Kazakh
and Mongolian eagle-falconers add another dimension to the narrative and
complement the author's own photography. His beautiful natural and
social history of the most beautiful bird in the world—the
eagle—includes a lengthy introduction by Annie Proulx.
