A visually stunning, photographically driven celebration of bird
migration-one of the great marvels of the natural world The vast
transcontinental journeys made every year by millions of feathered
migrants were not known to naturalists before the late nineteenth
century. Even today, while cutting-edge technology such as
geolocators and isotope analysis helps us map these journeys in
detail, much of the science remains poorly understood. In this
luxuriously illustrated volume, celebrated nature writer Mike Unwin
and award-winning photographer David Tipling highlight sixty-seven
different species of birds from around the world and explore how
each has adapted to its migratory cycle. As they bring to life the
drama of the Bar-headed Goose's journey over the Himalayas and the
amazing sixty-thousand-mile annual round trip taken by the Arctic
Tern between the United Kingdom and Antarctica, Unwin and Tipling
offer deep insights into the science, mysteries, and wonders of
migration.
