Description 231 p. : ill., ports. ; 21 cm Summary Birds provide humans not only with enormous aesthetic pleasure, they also inform us in this complex and unpredictable world. As we seek to house, feed and sustain ever-increasing human populations, some of what we are doing is a threat to wildlife. Aerial Surveillance shows us how birds provide insights at the cutting edge of science and merit our attention.
