In Long Hops, physicist Symbol Denny explains, in a specific, conversational style, the research of parrot migration - from the intricacies of parrot aeronautics to the recently unraveled mysteries of these magnetic compasses. While providing whenever we can types of indigenous Hawaiian varieties, the book studies the migration phenomenon as a whole, showing that birds are amazing works of anatomist with spectacular capabilities for long-distance plane tickets. Each year a large number of these hardy migrants take a flight 2,500 miles nonstop from Alaska to Hawai'i. Just how do they put up with such marathon journeys, and exactly how on the planet do they know which path to visit over featureless ocean? Actually, many migratory journeys, in every parts of the world and performed by birds as small as warblers so that large as swans, cover much longer distances. After answering the "who, why, where, when" questions, Denny focuses on the questions of how: how experts study parrot migration; how they collect data from old-fashioned parrot banding, high-tech satellite tv monitoring, and other techniques; and - most importantly - how the birds take action. Throughout the publication, concepts such as the physics of parrot airline flight and the role of physical geography on navigation are described in a relatively math-free way. The publication is released by College or university of Hawai'i Press.
