”Just as a mockingbird weaves snatches of melody from hundreds of sources to create its own flood of song, Phillip Hoose in Duet knits together science, history and folklore to tell the remarkably tangled story of humans and mockingbirds—how we loved this bird almost to death, brought it back from the brink just in time, and now get to share our backyards with one of the world’s greatest singers.” —Scott Weidensaul, author of A World on the Wing
