The essay, “My Favorite Angel Lives in the Met” by Laura Howes, (Professor Emerita, English and Medieval Studies, University of Tennessee, Knoxville) accompanies the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eFive fold-outs throughout the book create an expansive view of the natural world, as seen through Bosworth’s customary 8×10 camera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-indent=\"1\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eBosworth writes, “Birds, to me, are wonderment. A flash of color, a song. I feel fortunate to have grown up in a family that paid attention to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-indent=\"1\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eThe photographs in this book were made with an 8x10 film camera while working with bird banders in northeast Ohio and central Massachusetts. Bird banding is a method used to study behavior, track migration routes, and monitor populations. Licensed banders catch and then release the birds, collecting data that becomes part of a larger ecological archive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-indent=\"1\" data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eBirds are deeply affected by shifts in climate, land use, and human presence. They remind us our world is fragile. With the banders, I found a generous community of people who treat the world with respect. My wish, before it is too late, is for us to all care for the environment, and pay attention to the birds and angels in our lives.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003ePrinted in Denmark\u003cbr\u003e9” x 12.25”\u003cbr\u003e88 pages with 5 fold-outs\u003cbr\u003e50 images\u003cbr\u003eHard cover with tipped-in image\u003cbr\u003eGold foil stamped spine\u003cbr\u003eText by Barbara Bosworth\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-rte-preserve-empty=\"true\"\u003eDesign by Emily Sheffer\u003cbr\u003ePublished by Dust Collective\u003cbr\u003eSpring 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dust Collective","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49075765477628,"sku":null,"price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/7908\/2645\/files\/Covers_1_686e09ea-2351-4954-a2a6-aa7e93a26294.png?v=1778193265","url":"https:\/\/baltimorephotospace.com\/products\/barbara-bosworth-birds-and-other-angels","provider":"Baltimore Photo Space","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
