I was looking for book recommendations on line and stumbled on this. Sounded amusing. Harmon, Margaret A Field Guide to North American Birders : A Parody (2001) 818.5 H288f 2001 Harmon's field guide is a bird's-eye view for the humans who watch birds. This parody of bird field guides turns birdwatching on its head, giving detailed information on the voice, range and habitate of 39 species of birdwatchers. It also includes special sections, such as how to attract birders to your own backyard and the American Birder-Watching Society Code of Ethics.

The energy for the Green Revolution was provided by fossil fuels in the form of fertilizers (natural gas), pesticides (oil), and hydrocarbon fueled irrigation. The world population has grown by about four billion since the beginning of the Green Revolution and most believe that, without the Revolution, there would be greater famine and malnutrition than the UN presently documents (approximately 850 million people suffering from chronic malnutrition in 2005).[36] ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
