Flight Paths: How a Passionate and Quirky Group of Pioneering Scientists Solved the Mystery of Bird Migration

byRebecca Heisman

For the past century, scientists and naturalists have been steadily unravelling the secrets of bird migration. The argument in Flight Paths develops through scientific research, fieldwork, and carefully chosen case studies, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects how a passionate and quirky group of pioneering scientists solved the mystery of bird to larger questions in nature and science, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Flight Paths preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
