BERND HEINRICH is the best-selling author of such books as Mind of the Raven and Winter World, as well as being a professor of biology at the University of Vermont. His latest book THE SNORING BIRD: MY FAMILY’S JOURNEY THROUGH A CENTURY OF BIOLOGY is a revealing and intimate look at Professor Heinrich’s relationship with his stern and old fashioned natural historian father Gerd from his earliest years living in Poland during World War II, to eeking out an existence in the forests of western Germany at the end of the war to his family’s eventual emigration to the United States. This is an amazing story of determination in the face of adversity and the development of a deep interest and love for the natural world. The events in this memoir are so striking and unique that the book reads like a novel, but is all true. Don’t miss this fascinating conversation with one of the great contemporary voices in natural history and biology.
