Complementing the art are informative and story-driven natural histories of each species by writer A. Scott Meiser, as well as interviews with biologists who are working to sustain some of the same species. An introduction highlights how Kaizar developed this project, while the “How to Get Involved” appendix provides helpful tips on actions readers can take to help these creatures. Kaizar’s work informs readers about the world around them in a way that is beautiful and engaging, while also examining the environmental conditions that put these species at risk. Rare Air broadens the conversation about environmental study and inspires readers across the country to care for our winged creatures, such as the elegant calippe siverspot butterfly, the comical Atlantic puffin, the diminutive little brown bat, the bumbling rusty-patched bumblebee, the leggy el’o, and the unmistakable whooping crane,” Biographical Note: Sarah Kaizar is the author of Hiker Trash: Notes, Sketches & Others Detritus on the Appalachian Trail, and her illustration work has been seen in galleries and museums including the Woodmere Art Museum, Delaware Contemporary, and the Schuylkill Center for Environmental Education; she is currently represented by Paradigm Gallery.
