520 "Each year, red knots, sandpipers weighing no more than a
coffee cup, fly a near-miraculous 19,000 miles from the
tip of South America to their nesting grounds in the
Arctic and back. Along the way, they double their weight
by gorging on millions of tiny horseshoe crab eggs.
Horseshoe crabs, ancient animals that come ashore but once
a year, are vital to humans, too: their blue blood
safeguards our health. Now, the rufa red knot, newly
listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act,
will likely face extinction in the foreseeable future
across its entire range, 40 states and 27 countries. The
first United States bird listed because global warming
imperils its existence, it will not be the last: the red
knot is the twenty-first century's "canary in the coal
mine." Logging thousands of miles following the knots,
shivering with the birds out on the snowy tundra, tracking
them down in bug-infested marshes, Cramer vividly portrays
what's at stake for millions of shorebirds and hundreds of
millions of people living at the sea edge. The Narrow Edge
offers an uplifting portrait of the tenacity of tiny birds
and of the many people who, on the sea edge we all share,
keep knots flying and offer them safe harbor."--Publisher
