“Three cheers for this splendid, surprising, inspiring book!”―Sy Montgomery, author of The Soul of an Octopus

Alone in a vast wildlife refuge with little direction and no experience, a Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology student found herself responsible for a project of historical importance―to bring the Bald Eagle back from near extinction.

In Return to the Sky, Tina Morris, one of the first women to engage in a raptor reintroduction program, shares her remarkable story that is as much about the human spirit as it is about birds of prey.

In the spring of 1975, on the eve of the US Bicentennial, Tina was selected to reintroduce Bald Eagles into New York State in the hope that the species could eventually repopulate eastern North America. Young and female in a male-dominated field, Tina was handed an assignment to rehabilitate a population that had been devastated by the effects of DDT. The challenges were prodigious―there was no model to emulate for a bird of the eagle’s size, for one―but Tina soon found that her own path to self-discovery and confidence-building was deeply connected with the survival of the species she was chosen to protect.

Ultimately, Tina spent two years playing “mother” to seven eaglets at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, east of Seneca Falls in New York. Driven by her passion, she discovered unknown reserves of patience, determination, and grit.

At a time when the mass extinction of bird species is a critical global topic, Return to the Sky reminds us how, with a mix of common sense, resilience, and resolve, humans can be effective stewards of the natural world.

“This is more than an account of environmental triumph; it is a call to action. At a time of urgent climate and biodiversity crises, this book challenges each of us to examine our surroundings and consider how we can contribute to the sustainability of our planet.”―Dr. Elizabeth Gray, CEO, National Audubon Society, from the foreword

"Emotional and inspiring proof that one person can make a difference."―Kirkus Reviews

"Inspiring . . . the writing is clear and eloquent . . . Morris expertly blends moving memoir and scientific research in this remarkable and affecting story."―Booklist

“对这部壮观、令人惊讶和鼓舞人心的书，我们应当欢呼三声！” ——《章鱼的灵魂》作者Sy Montgomery如是说。 在一片辽阔的野生动物保护区中，独自面对没有指导也没有经验的情况下，康奈尔鸟类学实验室的一名学生被赋予了一项具有历史意义的任务——那就是让美洲雄鹰从濒临灭绝的边缘重新回到东部北美的天空。 在《重返苍穹》这本书里，蒂娜·莫里斯，首位参与猛禽回归项目中的女性之一，与读者分享了她的非凡故事，这不仅仅是一段关于猛禽的故事，更是一部人类精神的成长史。 1975年春天，在美国建国200周年之际，蒂娜被选中回到新泽西州重新引入美洲雄鹰。她希望这个物种最终能在东部北美的天空里重新繁衍。作为一名年轻女性和男性主导领域的成员，蒂娜接到了一项艰巨的任务：救助因二丁基酚（DDT）的影响而遭受重创的人工孵化幼雏。 尽管没有可以效仿的模型，面对着无法预估的挑战，蒂娜很快发现，她自我探索的道路与保护自己选择来守护的物种生存的机会息息相关。 最终，蒂娜花费了两年时间在纽约州桑德克里夫附近的蒙特兹亚纳国家野生动物保护区扮演“母亲”的角色，照料七个幼鹰。凭借着她的热情，她发现了无尽的耐心、决心和毅力。 在全球鸟类灭绝危机日趋严重的时刻，《重返苍穹》提醒我们，在常识、韧性和决心的混合下，人类也能成为有效维护自然世界的守护者。 “这不是一部环境胜利的故事；这是一声呼吁行动的声音。在气候和生物多样性危机亟待解决的关键时刻，这本书要求我们每个人都要审视自己的周遭，并思考我们能够如何为地球的可持续性做出贡献。” ——国家鸟类保护协会首席执行官Elizabeth Grady博士，在本书扉页中所言。 “感人的证明：一个人可以作出改变。” ——《出版商周刊》评论 “鼓舞人心……文笔清晰而富有感染力……莫里斯巧妙地将感人的真实故事与科学研究相结合，创造了一个非凡且感人的故事。” ——《书单》杂志
