Abstract

The American, Roger Tory Peterson, has been the single most influential figure in the evolution of birding field guides around the world. He was also a major contributor to the awakening of an environmental consciousness among the wider public in the second half of the twentieth century. In Australia, he provided a powerful impetus to the renovation of the field guide genre from the 1960s onward; and his Australian followers, like Peterson himself, were driven by a conviction that field guides are potent contributors to the conservationist cause. This article explores the myriad ways in which Peterson helped shape Australian birding field guides, including an exposition of his personal friendship with one of Australia’s major field guide authors, Graham Pizzey.

罗杰-托里-彼得森在澳大利亚:美国人对澳大利亚鸟类野外指南的影响
美国人罗杰-托里-彼得森(Roger Tory Peterson)是全球鸟类野外指南发展史上最具影响力的人物。他也是 20 世纪下半叶广大公众环境意识觉醒的主要推动者。在澳大利亚,他有力地推动了 20 世纪 60 年代以来野外指南流派的革新;他在澳大利亚的追随者和彼得森本人一样,都坚信野外指南是保护主义事业的有力推动者。本文探讨了彼得森帮助塑造澳大利亚鸟类野外指南的多种方式,包括阐述他与澳大利亚主要野外指南作者之一格雷厄姆-皮齐(Graham Pizzey)的个人友谊。
