Pressestimmen
"A remarkably detailed and highly readable account of this vast literature. The whole book is packed with clearly described examples, many of which are presented in fully referenced summary tables which will prove invaluable to researchers...This book describes many of these developments but sets them within a much broader historical context of published studies of bird migration. This context is both highly informative and provides a powerful basis for understanding current and future changes to migratory populations...Ian Newton has a deep and thorough knowledge of the science of ornithology, and it is to our great benefit that he has spent his recent years writing a series of books that summarize and structure this huge body of literature in such accessible and readable formats. At over 900 pages and including a detailed glossary and extensive reference list, this book will be of great value to researchers in this field, but it is also an excellent source of information for anyone interested inthemany fascinating aspects of bird migration." - Jennifer A. Gill, in TRENDS IN ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION "The many charts, figures and graphic illustrations in the book give new views on the migratory phenomenon and on the incredible adaptive ability of birds to the variations and changing circumstances like the warming climate, to cite one example. The text is clear and is not solely interesting to researchers but also all those who are intrigued by the extraordinary migration of birds."--ALUADA, the journal of the Societet d'Etudes Ornithologiques de France
Kurzbeschreibung
This book presents an up-to-date, detailed and thorough review of the most fascinating ecological findings of bird migration. It deals with all aspects of this absorbing subject, including the problems of navigation and vagrancy, the timing and physiological control of migration, the factors that limit their populations, and more. Author, Ian Newton, reveals the extraordinary adaptability of birds to the variable and changing conditions across the globe, including current climate change. This adventurous book places emphasis on ecological aspects, which have received only scant attention in previous publications. Overall, the book provides the most thorough and in-depth appraisal of current information available, with abundant tables, maps and diagrams, and many new insights. Written in a clear and readable style, this book appeals not only to migration researchers in the field and Ornithologists, but to anyone with an interest in this fascinating subject.Hot ecological aspects include: various types of bird movements, including dispersal and nomadism, and how they relate to food supplies and other external conditions. This book contains numerous tables, maps and diagrams, a glossary, and a bibliography of more than 2,700 references. It is written by an active researcher with a distinguished career in avian ecology, including migration research.

Absolutely fantastic book
6. Februar 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is the definite book on bird migration and will be for many years to come.
It's written in a very easy to follow but still scientic style. The amount of information in this book is amazing.
The author really knows how to write and explain his subject.
I could go on and praise every chapter, but I will just write that this is a must have book for every birder and ornithologist who is interested in bird migration.

All you need to know about bird migration
13. Oktober 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
A very thorough review of what is known of bird migration up to 2008 aimed at serious ornithologists. Ordinary birdwatchers should consider Ian Newton's later (2010) book on Bird Migration which is really the same book minus some technical detail. Both books are well illustrated and written in the clear, easy to understand style for which Ian is noted. While comprehensive the illustrative examples tend to be drawn mainly from the Palearctic- Afrotropical migration system.

superb migration survey
5. Februar 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
An astonishing study on migration, big and delicate ecological matter. The experienced author has gathered a huge amount of accurate and readable information of the subject otherwise offering a vast bibliographic referencies list. It deals not only with migration but also with vagrancy, irruptions and the related topics. An educational and enjoyable book including lots of good species examples, tables and graphics. One runs the risk to be trapped reading for hours.
