Beschreibung:
David Lack (1910-73) was one of the most celebrated names in the study of birds. His pioneering life-history studies resulted in an explosion of interest in the ecology of birds as well as the landmark books such as The Life of theRobin, Darwin's Finches, and Swifts in a Tower.
Initially published in 1956, this scientific exploration of the movements and private lives of swifts led the way for subsequent technological developments in tracking swifts' actions. This edition contains a new chapter from Andrew Lack bringing the story of swifts into the 21st century.
