The voices of birds have always been a source of fascination.
Nature's Music brings together some of the world's experts on
birdsong, to review the advances that have taken place in our
understanding of how and why birds sing, what their songs and calls
mean, and how they have evolved. All contributors have strived to
speak, not only to fellow experts, but also to the general reader.
The result is a book of readable science, richly illustrated with
recordings and pictures of the sounds of birds.
Bird song is much more than just one behaviour of a single,
particular group of organisms. It is a model for the study of a
wide variety of animal behaviour systems, ecological, evolutionary
and neurobiological. Bird song sits at the intersection of
breeding, social and cognitive behaviour and ecology. As such
interest in this book will extend far beyond the purely
ornithological - to behavioural ecologists psychologists and
neurobiologists of all kinds.
* The scoop on local dialects in birdsong
* How birdsongs are used for fighting and flirting
* The writers are all international authorities on their subject
