Epic Animal Journeys: Navigation and Migration by Air, Land and Sea

Hardcover

Price: $22.99

Overview

All the branches of the animal kingdom – birds, fish, crustaceans, reptiles, mammals, insects, and even slime moulds undertake great journeys across water land or air. This is a glorious celebration of the mysteries and marvels of migration.

Migration is one of the great mysteries of the natural world. With no compass or GPS devices, birds fly thousands of miles from Europe to their African feeding grounds, salmon cross oceans so that they may return to the rivers in which they were born and monarch butterflies spend their entire adult lives traveling from the grasslands of the Midwest to the forests of Mexico.

This book takes a close look at how and why different animals migrate. The science of migration is broken down into clearly understood texts, and then brought to life in case studies of individual species.

Simple text packed with fascinating facts and details are accompanied by eye-catching illustrations that illuminate the fragility and wonders of our extraordinary planet and the species that inhabit it.

Reviews

"It's a daunting subject that Brown tackles with aplomb, beginning with a friendly introduction that hints at the scale of migration and asks two crucial questions: 'So why do it?' and 'How does it work?'

The layouts are dynamic, with creative, action-packed scenes, and the information is plentiful.

Brown makes clear that everything humans do impacts creatures all over the globe and also considers what we still don't know about migration.

Robust insights into the often mind-bogglingly arduous journeys of animals all over the world." - Kirkus Reviews
