From the Back Cover:

"On the wings of her two magnificent books about grizzly bears and wolves, the Canadian naturalist Candace Savage presents Peregrine Falcons with her usual solid science writing and poignant, powerful photos. The resurrection of this predator by captive breeding and careful release after the DDT crisis nearly wiped out the species stands as one of the great triumphs of conservation."

-- The Chicago Tribune

"Striking...[the] photos and detailed text provide vivid insight into these fascinating raptors."

-- San Francisco Chronicle

"[Candace Savage] relates man's long, turbulent relationship with the peregrine, a love-hate relationship that nearly spelled extinction of the bird."

-- Spokane Review

From the Inside Flap:

0 full color photographs by such well-known nature photographs as Galen Rowell and Art Wolfe, Peregrine Falcons offers a stunning photographic tribute to the grace and beauty of this fierce and ecologically threatened bird of prey.
