Description:
An absorbing account of Finnish Professor Kauri Mikkola's natural-history expeditions across some of the wildest regions of Siberia and North America. His journeys range from the taiga, Altai steppe and spruce forests around Lake Baikal to the wetlands of Ottawa, the mountains of Colorado and the remote wilderness of the Yukon.
Written with enthusiasm and a strong sense of place, The Winged Wonders combines travel, natural history and field observation. Mikkola travels in the company of leading naturalists and entomologists, exploring the butterflies, moths, birds and plants of boreal and mountain landscapes, while also describing the people, cultures and practical realities encountered on expedition.
Along the way Mikkola introduces prominent entomologists from the United States, Canada and Russia and recounts the pleasures, hardships and occasional hazards of natural-history collecting in remote country.
