The Riddle of Migration (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781024180237)

"The Riddle of Migration" explores the mysteries surrounding animal migration, particularly focusing on birds. Written by William Rowan and originally published in 1930, the book delves into the then-current understanding of the causes and patterns of migratory behavior. It examines various theories and observations, offering insights into the biological and environmental factors that drive animals to undertake these remarkable journeys. Though scientific understanding has advanced since its original publication, Rowan's work remains a valuable historical document, providing a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century zoological research and the enduring quest to unravel nature's secrets. It is a testament to the continuing human fascination with the natural world and the complex behaviors of its creatures.
