Tracking Desire A Journey After Swallow-Tailed Kites

"It took just one sighting of a swallow-tailed kite to dispatch Susan Cerulean on a pilgrimage through its fragmented and ever-shrinking habitats. In "Tracking Desire," Cerulean immerses us in the natural history and biology of "Elanoides forficatus." At the same time, she sifts through her past--as a child, student, biologist, parent, and activist--to muse on a lifelong absorption with nature."--P. [4] of cover.
