Paul Kerlinger sets out how and why birds undertake their journeys, drawing on case studies and illustrating the text with line drawings by Pat Archer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book covers the basics of flight, the effects of weather, geographical barriers and flight strategy, along with speed, altitude, distance and navigation. It also explains how seabirds fuel their long journeys. Written for birders and nature lovers, it draws on the research available at the time of writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book was well received as a primer on migration, and Audubon later described it as a first-rate introduction to the subject. A revised and updated second edition appeared in 2009, which makes this 1995 first edition the original form of the text. It will suit birdwatchers, natural history readers and collectors of ornithological literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Paul Kerlinger\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaul Kerlinger is an American ornithologist who directed the Cape May Bird Observatory of the New Jersey Audubon Society for seven years, a post dated to 1987 to 1994, before working as an environmental consultant.
