The monarch butterfly is our best-known and best-loved insect,
and its annual migration over thousands of miles is an
extraordinary natural phenomenon. Robert Michael Pyle, "one of
America's finest natural history writers" (Sue Hubbell), set out
late one summer to follow the monarchs south from their
northernmost breeding ground in British Columbia. CHASING MONARCHS
tells the engrossing story of his adventurous journey with these
graceful wanderers -- down the Columbia, Snake, Bear, and Colorado
rivers, across the Bonneville Salt Flats, and through the
Chiricahua Mountains to Mexico, returning north along the
California coast. Part travelogue, part scientific study, CHASING
MONARCHS is one of the most fascinating books ever written about
butterflies. " Pyle's] delightful anecdotes, thought-provoking
philosophical questions and personal passion make this chronicle a
potential classic" (Monarch News).
