Synopsis - This book chronicles the efforts of biologist Steven Kress to rejuvenate a once-flourishing puffin colony on Egg Rock, an island off the Maine coast, with puffin chicks from Newfoundland. For the past hundred years, puffins along the coast of Maine have been threatened with local extinction, and Kress decided to try to bring puffins back with an experiment that had never been attempted before. Illustrated with a center section of color photographs.

Condition Details - The book is crisp and clean: it has a square spine, a very tight binding, and no signs of use. The cover has no edgewear and the textblock edges are clean. The dustjacket (in new, protective Brodart) has no edgewear. No unpleasant odors.

I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method.
