London: Collins, Date: 2010. First edition, 2010. Hardback. x, 596pp. Dust jacket in a protective sleeve. Bird migration has fascinated people since time immemorial: the arrivals and departures of different species marked the seasons and provided a reliable calendar long before anything better came along. Barn Swallows were once thought to bury themselves in the mud at the bottomn of ponds, while winter visiting Barnacle Geese were thought to turn into gooseneck barnacles for the summer, living submerged in shallow seas. In this seminal work, Ian Newton provides an in-depth study of the different types of bird movements along with the main migration patterns. He focuses on the process of migration, including timing, energy needs, weather effects and navigation. He also explores evolution and change in migratory behaviour, as well as geographical and ecological patterns. Professor Newton's absorbing account of an extraordinary phenomenon which does not cease to amaze us offers a wealth of information which will be read and enjoyed by expert and amateur alike. Front cover design by Robert Gillmor. Book as new and unread. Dust jacket fine and unclipped. A heavy book but no additional shipping charges to UK postcodes. 2010. Collins ISBN 0007307314 9780007307319 [GB]
