Birds Of Two Worlds: The Ecology and Evolution of Migration. 2005. Russell Greenberg and Peter P. Marra, Editors. Johns Hopkins University Press, 488 pp, clothbound, $110.

For 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.
