I think  a lot of us are tired of hearing about Audubon,
 
I was recently given "John James Audubon: the Making of an American" by  
Richard Rhodes, and enjoyed it immensely. It is a fascinating book, not least  
because it chronicles the environmental changes taking place in America 
during  Audubon's lifetime, which he himself noted. I'd be happy to loan it to 
birder  friends, once I get it back from my historian friend. (It's 
paperback, and far  less than $9.2 million.)
