Description

Where the Animals Go is beautiful and thrilling, a combination of the most productive in science and exposition, and a joy to study cover to cover.” ―Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University

For thousands of years, tracking animals meant following footprints. Now satellites, drones, camera traps, cell phone networks, and accelerometers reveal the flora and fauna as never before. Where the Animals Go is the first book to provide a comprehensive, data-driven portrait of how creatures like ants, otters, owls, turtles, and sharks navigate the world. In accordance with pioneering research by scientists at the vanguard of the animal-tracking revolution, James Cheshire and Oliver Uberti’s stunning, four-color charts and maps tell fascinating stories of animal behavior. These astonishing infographics give an explanation for how warblers detect incoming storms the usage of sonic vibrations, how baboons make decisions, and why storks prefer garbage dumps to wild forage; they follow pythons racing throughout the Everglades, a lovelorn wolf traversing the Alps, and humpback whales visiting undersea mountains. Where the Animals Go is a triumph of technology, data science, and design, bringing broad standpoint and intimate detail to our understanding of the animal kingdom.
