Account of Matthiessen's journeys in search of cranes in Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and Australia, journeys that brought him into contact with conservationists, scientists and enthusiasts of many nationalities. Illustrated with colour plates by wildlife artist Robert Bateman, The Birds of Heaven captures the beauty of a vanishing species and the dilemma of a planet in ecological crisis.
