书籍简介

每年秋季和春季，鸟类都要在地球上飞行数千英里，鸟类如何以及为什么要在天空中穿梭，从一个大陆到另一个大陆，一直吸引着人类的想象力，我们才能够完全理解这些神奇的旅程。这场革命是如何发生的呢？讲述了一个前所未闻的故事：一群古怪的鸟类学家、工程师和其他先驱科学家如何利用近百年来几乎所有的技术发展来详细了解鸟类迁徙--从何时何地起飞、它们的飞行路线和行为、它们的目的地以及到达目的地所面临的挑战。在这个引人入胜的故事中，丽贝卡-海斯曼揭开了鸟类学军备竞赛的秘密历史。这场军备竞赛不仅利用雷达、放射性同位素、卫星和简陋的铝带帮助解开了鸟类迁徙之谜，还让我们深入了解了如何更好地保护和养护我们珍爱的鸟类生命。

How and why birds navigate the skies, travelling from continent to continent — flying thousands of miles across the earth each autumn and spring — has continually fascinated the human imagination, but only recently have we been able to fully understand these amazing journeys. How did this revolution come about? Flight Paths is the never-before-told story of how an eccentric group of ornithologists, engineers and other pioneering scientists have harnessed nearly every technological development of the last hundred years to understand bird migration in detail - from where and when they take off, their flight paths and behaviours, their destinations and the challenges they face getting there. In this fascinating and compelling story Rebecca Heisman uncovers the secret history of an ornithological arms race that not only helped solve the mystery of bird migration using radar, radioactive isotopes, satellites and the humble aluminium band but has also given us much needed insight into how best to protect and conserve the bird life we cherish.
