If you try to order SYMBIOS books on Amazon.com, you will probably find a note that says they are "not available." That doesn't mean that they are out of print; it means that Amazon.com seldom does business with small publishers. They mostly deal with the big publishers and distributors. We have asked Amazon to change or clarify their message, but they refuse. All SYMBIOS books are still in print, and you can order direct from us, probably with the same discounts you would get from Amazon, and you can pay by credit card or bank transfer. You can also order through Barnes & Noble, Border's, and other stores who still honor small business. Regarding used copies of SYMBIOS books, we almost always have new but slightly shopworn copies that often sell for less than you will find them in the used book listings on Amazon.com. Check our used book pages.

From 1969 to 1981, Sandy Wilbur led the

and reverse a decline that had been going on since the Pleistocene.
Based on his intensive research, he gives his explanation of what
really happened to the condors. From his field notes and journals,
he introduces the people who have fought for the condors, and
he describes the events and circumstances that led to the disasters
of the 1980s and the successes of the 1990s. These are some "Condor
