centuries biologists have tried to understand the underpinnings of avian
migration: where birds go and why, why some migrate and some do not, how
they adapt to a changing environment, and how migratory systems evolve.

  In Birds of Two Worlds Russell, Greenberg and Marra bring together the
world's experts on avian migration to discuss its ecology and 
evolution. The
contributors move the discussion of migration to a global stage, 
looking at
all avian migration systems and delving deeper into the evolutionary
foundations of migratory behavior. Birds of Two Worlds will become
indispensable for ornithologists, evolutionary biologists, serious 
birders,
and public and academic libraries.
