Publisher's Synopsis
This stunning book is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to the mysteries of animal migration. Spectacular photographs and maps trace the extraordinary migration routes of more than 100 animals in every continent.
The book first explains why animals migrate to find food and water or to breed, either as part of mass migrations or on individual journeys that often take them across hostile or barren terrain. The three sections that follow then look in detail at the most extraordinary journeys animals take across land, oceans and by air. With additional features on environmental threats to many migratory species and worldwide conservation initiatives, this fully illustrated book will appeal to all wildlife enthusiasts.
