The voices of birds have always been a source of fascination. Nature's Music brings together some of the world's experts on birdsong, to review the advances that have taken place in our understanding of how and why birds sing, what their songs and calls mean, and how they have evolved.

The result is a book of readable science, richly illustrated with recordings and pictures of the sounds of birds.

It is a model for the study of a wide variety of animal behaviour systems, ecological, evolutionary and neurobiological.

As such interest in this book will extend far beyond the purely ornithological - to behavioural ecologists psychologists and neurobiologists of all kinds.* The scoop on local dialects in birdsong* How birdsongs are used for fighting and flirting* The writers are all international authorities on their subject
