dillonbrantley's review against another edition
4.0
The Feather Thief offers insight into a fascinating (and yet simple) theft of a number of biologically-significant specimens from a museum. What is most interesting about the story is not the theft itself, but the motivations behind and investigation into it.
The author does a phenomenal job explaining the significance of these specimens, specifically citing the travels and hardships of notable biologist Alfred Russel Wallace. This background, although not new to me, was successful in getting mee more invested in the scientific and historical significance of these specimens. This success can surely, in part, be attributed to the author's passion and clear presentation.

I was not aware that such an event had occurred. I found it interesting that such a large group of people could justify destroying museum quality bird models in order to make fishing tackle.
