The Last Flight of the Scarlet Macaw: One Woman's Fight to Save the World's Most Beautiful Bird is the title of the new book by Bruce Barcott.
Part nature writing, part travel writing, Barcott writes what the NYT calls, “mashing up adventure travel, biography and nature writing in a steamy climate of corruption and intrigue.”
Publishers Weekly has said, “Barcott's compelling narrative is suspenseful right up to the last moment.”
Taken from the book description, “As the dramatic story unfolds, Barcott addresses the realities of economic survival in Third World countries, explores the tension between environmental conservation and human development, and puts a human face on the battle over globalization. In this marvelous and spirited book, Barcott shows us how one unwavering woman risked her life to save the most beautiful bird in the world.”
