Abstract:
"Nature's Music brings together some of the world's experts on birdsong, to review the advances that have taken place in our undestanding of how and why birds sing, what their songs and calls mean, and how they have evolved. All contributors have strived to speak, not only to fellow experts, but also to the general reader. The result is a book of readable science, richly illustrated with recordings and pictures of the sounds of birds."--BOOK JACKET.
