Survival of the Free — the Last Strongholds of Wild Animal Life, by Dr. 
Wolfgang Englehardt. G. P. Putnam’s Sons, New York City, 1962. 258 
pages, with 125 pages of photographs. $6.95. 
First published in German in 1956, this volume is dedicated to those 
national parks and game reserves found in many nations of the world 
which now serve as the last sanctuary for rapidly disappearing wildlife. 
Such contributors as Fred Packard, Dr. Bernhard Grzimek and Dr. A. W. 
Banfield make this an authoritative text. The book covers wildlife sanctuaries 
in Switzerland, Japan, Russia, the United States, the Philippines, and other 
countries. Most of the photographs are extraordinary close-ups. Dr. Grzimek, 
well-known for his book and film on the Serengetti, declares that the 
booming human population of Africa, more than any other factor, is re- 
sponsible for the decline of that continent’s wildlife. Some animal species 
may become extinct before the turn of the century.

The Migration of Birds, by Jean Dorst. Translated from the French by 
Constance D. Sherman, with a foreword by Roger Tory Peterson. Houghton 
Mifflin Co., 2 Park St., Boston, Mass., March, 1963. 476 pages, with 131 
maps and other black-and-white illustrations. $6.75. 
If one is to write a book about bird migration all over the world, he 
must himself be something of a wanderer. In this respect, Dr. Dorst is 
well qualified for his task. When he is not studying birds in the National 
Museum of Natural History in Paris (where he is Curator of the Division 
of Mammals and Birds), he may be off studying them in the Swiss Alps, 
in tropical Africa, in the islands of the Pacific, in the Peruvian highlands, 
or in the United States. He truly has a global knowledge of birds, and has 
written voluminously about them. His achievements are all the more 
amazing, as Roger Tory Peterson observes, because he has crammed so 
much into a career of only thirty-seven years.
