Arctic Wings: Birds of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
A celebration in word and image of the birds who return each year to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to nest—and how they link every point on the globe.
The book makes clear the importance of the refuge to bird populations and the dire consequences of permitting oil exploration there. Bird-watchers will be captivated by the book; other readers may be inspired to take up this avocation. — Booklist - September 15, 2006

Could be used for in-home notes about birding in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. — Salem (OR) Statesman Journal - September 15, 2006
Arctic Wings makes a powerful case for continued preservation of the refuge, but it is far from just propaganda. This is a thoughtful book, with well-written, informative essays…This is a lovely book, but also a sobering one. It shows what we Americans have in the far-from-barren Arctic National Wildlife Refuge—and what we stand to lose. —Winston-Salem Journal - November 10, 2006
Visually, the strategy editor Brown has employed is devastatingly powerful. It's hard to look at this book and argue in favor of drilling the refuge. --Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - December 12, 2006
