Migration of Birds

This is Thomas Alfred Coward's 1912's treatise, "e;The Migration of Birds"e;. A fascinating and beautifully-written exploration of avian migratory patterns and habits, this is a volume not to be missed by modern readers with an interest in ornithology and nature writing. Thomas Alfred Coward (1867 - 1933), was an English ornithologist and astronomer who produced many books on natural history. Other notable works by this author include: "e;Bird and Other Nature Problems"e; (1931), "e;Bird Haunts and Nature Memories"e; (1922), and "e;The Birds of Cheshire"e; (1900). Contents include: "e;Migration Of Birds"e;, "e;Cause And Origin Of Migration"e;, "e;Routes"e;, "e;The Height And Speed Of Migration Flight"e;, "e;Orientation And Route Finding"e;, "e;The Distances Travelled By Birds"e;, "e;Migration And Weather"e;, "e;The Perils Of Migration"e;, "e;Early Ideas Of Migration"e;, and "e;Suggestions And Guesses"e;. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
