Bird Senses by Graham R Martin

Bird Senses by Graham R Martin

Journey deep into the world of birds, with a through birds eyes approach to ornithology. There is a lot more to a birds world than what it receives through its eyes.This book shows how all the senses complement each other to provide each species with a unique suite of information that guides their daily activities.

Useful analogies abound and the explanations given allow us, however briefly, to submerge into the sensory environment of birds, in their incredible diversityThis is a book you will want on your shelves and may well revisit.

-- Bo Beolens * Fatbirder *

Bird Senses bundles the available knowledge and will be a milestone for a long time.

-- Walter Belis * Alauda *

Bird Senses will undoubtedly appeal to (amateur) ornithologists, nature lovers and specialists.

-- Walter Belis * Natuur.oriolus *

A very impressive and enjoyable read... Fascinating at a technical level and also at a more philosophical level... The more we can put ourselves into the minds of other sentient beings, the better we understand ourselves

-- Mark Avery

Excellent and extremely comprehensive...This is not simply of academic interest; it also has important conservation implications.

-- Tim Birkhead * British Birds *

So rich in explanation and surprises that it would be a dull reader who does not experience some appreciation of the worlds that birds perceive.

-- Douglas J. Futuyma * Quarterly Review of Biology *

Very instructive for those who wish to put themselves inside the skin of a bird, this book offers an excellent approach.

-- Bertrand Posse * Nos Oiseaux *

The book should be invaluable for scientists in the field, especially physiologists...For bird lovers, this title is inviting, well illustrated, and obviously the product of a ranking expert in the field.
