Samenvatting
"Unbridled, mankind is unique in having the ability to erase the cranes, one or all, from our world. Ironically, it is also within the power of man to recognize the beauty and worth of something not our kin (or stated more correctly, to recognize our kinship to a dissimilar species), to recognize and revere. This book is dedicated to these lovely creatures, and to those persons living, remembered, and yet unborn who will continue the struggle to ensure a world rich with cranes. In the paragraphs that follow, we will cite some of those whose contributions were greatest in completing this volume and in supporting our husbandry effort s . Others will be mentioned in photo captions and text. How ver, this act (i. e., citing our fellow workers) should not, in any way, diminish our awarenes... (Lees verder)s of, and appreciation for, the true inspiration for this volume, namely, the 15 species of cranes that grace our planet. This book is a celebration of the magnicence of these creatures and of man s efforts to ensure survival of each species. --From the introduction.
