Animal Journeys by Land, Sea and Air. Indexed and Illustrated.
Great Migrations is a visual celebration as well as an authoritative account of one of the ost spectacular and remarkable aspects of nature.
At any given moment, all over the world - in the air, on land and underwater - animals are on the move. They walk, fly or swim, sometimes in huge herds or swarms, from one part of the Earth to another, often following an instinct so strong that many will die rather than stop short of their destination.
It is only relatively recently, largely through the aid of advanced research techniques such as radio and satellite tracking, that we are really beginning to understand the how, why and when of animal migration. The very latest findings are recorded in Great Migrations, together with comprehensive accounts of journeys of some of nature's greatest travelers.
Superb full-colour photographs accompany text written by the foremost scientists in the field of animal behaviour. In addition beautiful full-colour illustrations and maps present graphically the fascinating journeys and life cycles of many migrating creatures.
Please Note: Because of the large size of the book $2 has been included in the normal price to help cover the additional packaging and postage cost.
