fly with peregrines July 26, 2007
Never have I been on trip like this! Dr. Clayton White's journey throughout the world of peregrine falcons is unsurpassed. Like an exotic travel log, White takes his readers through every step of the way. Every sensation is brought to life and at the end, the reader is rewarded in so many ways. br /br /Don't miss this rare opportunity for an truly engaging experience!br /br /
Wow! February 16, 2007
from STEVE HEYING's review in AMERICAN FALCONRY MAGAZINE:br /br / Wow! What a tour-de-force this book Peregrine Quest is to experience. Author Clayton M. White guides - no - leads the reader on a worldwide expedition through his life long passion, that of the peregrine falcon and its environs. He accomplishes this by recounting retelling from his fields notes and memory the tales and stories of his life adventures from fifty some years of field work. Along the way, in this shared journey, one cannot help but also gain a deeper insight into the greater underlying meaning of living not just a good life, but rather a great life on this planet we call Earth. Through the vector of sharing with him his pursuit of all the knowledge of all that is of the peregrine falcon, Professor White exposes the reader of his book to that which is life on earth in any and all places he has come to fully experience. We are led to feel the wind, the rain or lack thereof, the bugs, the other birds, the sunsets, the heat and the cold, all the attributes of place as he has experienced these places. In each expose of each peregrine in its place and time, Professor White builds a complete picture of the circle of life within that particular place with photographs, word stories, and cameos of what he sees and feels and knows while he is there. He tries to cover all the important details, literally leaving no stone unturned. Professor White is an artist, working with a full palate of paints, using broad strokes so as to give color and texture to all of Alaska, or with the use of fine line vignettes to color one eyrie on one rock on one river in one special place in Alaska. With earth shattering conclusions or short incidental stories, Clayton builds pictures of time and space that put the reader there, and educate us as to how we should act or feel while we are there. br /br / Any falconer with any experience or wishing to have any experience with a peregrine falcon either does owe or will eventually owe some part of that experience to Clay White. This book delineates the "why" of that truth and fact. If along the way of that "peregrine experience," if said falconer becomes a better human being as well, he may also owe that to Clay White or to the people Clay has influenced during his life time. Some of that knowledge and influence will come from this book and Clay White's lifetime work for future generations to tap into. This book is a "must have," and one that will be read over and over as a most enjoyable trip into Clay Whites world and the peregrine experiences contained within. br /br /br /
