Reviews

One of the most charismatic phenomena of birds is long-distance migration, and John Rappole's latest book on this topic is one of its kind. With his insightful book Rappole, an emeritus researcher at the Smithsonian Institute, turns the centuries-year-long paradigms of bird migration theory upside down, twists them and builds a compelling case to convince the reader that his dispersal theory bears the truth about the origin of bird migration. —Community Ecology
