Margaret Morse Nice 
Research Is a Passion With Me [EPUB ebook] 
The Autobiography of a Bird Lover

Sokongan

In her incredibly productive lifetime (1883-1974), American-born ornithologist Margaret Morse Nice earned the admiration of ornithologists and naturalists in far distant lands.

Research Is a Passion With Me is an enthralling autobiography of one of the great individuals in her field and of her time. The prominent California nature writer, Donald Peattie, in commenting on Margaret Nice’s writing ability, stated: ‘Your art of telling is so good that it conceals how good the science is.’ And Professor Ernst Mayer of Harvard University said: ‘Margaret Nice was a remarkable person and only those who know the state of American ornithology when she started her work will appreciate her contribution.’

‘An extraordinary bird watcher. Every summer she and her husband would gather the girls, pack their old car with camping gear, and head off into the wilds to look for new birds. This eccentric way of living was unusual in the early 1920s, but even their youngest daughter adjusted to it. Their older girls shinnied up trees to observe nests and helped in housekeeping tasks around the campsite.’
– Marcia Bonta, Bird Watcher’s Digest
