Not As the Crow Flies - A lifetime of adventure in exotic and untamed lands

Terry Shortt was Canada's most distinguished painter of bird life, a prominent ornithologist who worked for 45 years with the ROM and was honoured with election as a Fellow of New York's prestigious Explorer's Club. This is his exuberant odyssey to distant islands, tropical forests and glacier-strewn Arctic wastes - an absorbing personal narrative of his field travel to the Galapagos, India, Africa, Ecuador, Northern Canada, Greenland and beyond.
