The Burgess Bird Book for Children【電子書籍】[ Thornton W. Burgess ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>“This book was written to supply a definite need. Its preparation was undertaken at the urgent request of booksellers and others who have felt the lack of a satisfactory medium of introduction to bird life for little children. As such, and in no sense whatever as a competitor with the many excellent books on this subject, but rather to supplement these, this volume has been written. Its primary purpose is to interest the little child in, and to make him acquainted with, those feathered friends he is most likely to see. Because there is no method of approach to the child mind equal to the story, this method of conveying information has been adopted. So far as I am aware the book is unique in this respect. In its preparation an earnest effort has been made to present as far as possible the important facts regarding the appearance, habits and characteristics of our feathered neighbors. It is intended to be at once a story book and an authoritative handbook. While it is intended for little children, it is hoped that children of larger growth may find in it much of both interest and helpfulness. Mr. Louis Agassiz Fuertes, artist and naturalist, has marvelously supplemented such value as may be in the text by his wonderful drawings. They were made especially for this volume and are so accurate, so true to life, that study of them will enable any one to identify the species shown.”ーFrom the Preface. This edition includes a biographical afterword.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 594円

Fundamentals of Aperture Antennas and Arrays From Theory to Design, Fabrication and Testing【電子書籍】[ Trevor S. Bird ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book is intended as an advanced text for courses in antennas, with a focus on the mature but vital background field of aperture antennas. The book is aimed at final year, MSc, PhD and Post-Doctoral students, as well as readers who are moving from academia into industry, beginning careers as wireless engineers, system designers, in R&D, or for practising engineers.</p> <p>It assumes the reader has undertaken an earlier course of study on Maxwell's equations, fields and waves. Some of these topics are summarised in the early few chapters in order to provide continuity and background for the remaining chapters. The aperture antennas covered include the main types of horns, reflectors and arrays as well as microstrip patches, reflectarrays and lenses. To provide more than a superficial treatment of arrays, the topic of mutual coupling is covered in greater detail than most similar books in the area. Also included is an introduction to arrays on non-planar surfaces, which is of importance for applications that involve curved surfaces such as in aerodynamics or for making aperture antennas unobtrusive. A chapter is included on some modern aperture antennas to illustrate design techniques beyond the most common types of aperture antennas described in the early chapters. This is to show where advances have recently been made and where they could be improved in the future. Also included are selected topics of a practical nature for aperture antennas, namely fabrication and measurement.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 17,929円

Bird Keeping as a Source of Lung Cancer and Other Human Diseases A Need for Higher Hygienic Standards【電子書籍】[ Peter A.J. Holst ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Birdkeeping is becoming increasingly popular, but could it threaten good health? This book discusses the evi- dence suggesting that keeping pet birds is a strong risk factor for lung cancer. Its relation to a number of other endpoints, including death before age 60 and spontaneous abortion, is also examined. In addition, the book looks at the diseases that can be transmitted from birds to man - a fairly unknown field in general medicine. For instance, birds are a source of airborne particles that can cause allergic reactions in humans. People who keep birds as pets tend to have a higher incidence of shortness of breath, colds, sore throats and other flu-like symptoms than those in households without birds. The evidence presented in this book is the result of a ten-year general practice survey. Some recommendations for future research are given.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 12,154円

Bird Guide (Illustrated) Water Birds, Game Birds, and Birds of Prey【電子書籍】[ Chester A. Reed ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>While strolling through a piece of woodland, or perhaps along the marsh or seashore, we see a bird, a strange birdーone we never saw before. Instantly, our curiosity is aroused, and the question arises, “What is it?” There is the bird! How can we find out what kind it is? The Ornithologist of a few years ago had but one course open to him, that is to shoot the bird, take it home, then pore through pages of descriptions, until one was found to correspond with the specimen. Obviously, such methods cannot be pursued today, both humane and economical reasons prohibiting. We have but one alternative left us: We must make copious notes of all the peculiarities and markings of the bird that is before us. On our return home, we get down our bird books, and there are many excellent ones. After carefully looking through the whole library, we find that, although many of our books are well illustrated, none of them has the picture of what we seek, so we adopt the tactics of the “Old-time” Ornithologist, before mentioned, and pore over pages of text, until finally we know what our bird was. It is for just such emergencies as thisーto identify a bird when you see it, and where you see it, that this little pocket “Bird Guide” is prepared. May it be the medium for saving many of today’s seekers for “bird truths” from the many trials and tribulations willingly encountered, and hard and thorny roads gladly traveled by the author in his quest for knowledge of bird ways.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 119円

The Social Lives of Birds a must-read for bird and nature lovers【電子書籍】[ Joan E. Strassmann ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>**<em>'<em>A tour-de-force survey of how birds live their lives - with all the drama, surprise, humour, sadness and amazement of any human soap-opera' - Stephen Moss, author of <em>Ten Birds That Changed the World</em></em></em></p> <p>**<em>'<em>Utterly fascinating . . . Strassmann is the perfect guide to this world: an author as much fascinated by the science and research as she is motivated by the sheer joy and wonder of the birds themselves' - James Macdonald Lockhart, author of <em>Raptor</em></em></em></p> <p><strong>* Highly recommended for bird and nature lovers *</strong><br /> <strong>* Features beautiful illustrations throughout *</strong></p> <p>In <em>The Social Lives of Birds</em>, evolutionary biologist Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during the breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together.</p> <p>Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs-including increased competition, infidelities, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts.</p> <p>With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-<em>The Social Lives of Birds</em> explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds.</p> <p><strong>'Delightful and informative' - Lee Dugatkin, author of <em>How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)</em></strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 3,714円

RSPB Migration Hotspots The World's Best Bird Migration Sites【電子書籍】[ Tim Harris ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong><em>Migration Hotspots</em> brings the spectacle and excitement of amazing bird migrations to the general reader.</strong></p> <p>Each spring and autumn hundreds of millions of birds - wildfowl, shorebirds, raptors, and passerines - migrate between higher and lower latitudes, or in some cases between high latitudes in the northern hemisphere and high latitudes in the southern hemisphere. In a handful of places around the world, a combination of geography, topography and climate combine to funnel migrant birds into narrow fronts, leading to migration hotspots, places where, for a few days each year, birds seem to be everywhere. The sight of thousands upon thousands of birds is one of nature's greatest wildlife spectacles.</p> <p><em>Migration Hotspots</em> takes a look at 30 of the locations where the planet's most dramatic bird migration can be witnessed, from raptor bottlenecks such as Veracruz (Mexico) and the Strait of Messina (Italy) to places like Point Pel?e (Canada) and Beidaihe (China) where spectacular falls of songbirds can take place. And from wetlands where huge numbers of waders stop over each spring and autumn to the great rarity islands of Scilly and Heligoland.</p> <p>The book covers each of the world's major avian flyways and features stunning photography throughout. The geographical reasons for the importance of each hotspot are explained, with a summary of the different birds that pass through and the best times of year to see them, and an introductory chapter summarises birds' migration strategies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,014円

Bird Migration and Global Change【電子書籍】[ George W. Cox ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Changes in seasonal movements and population dynamics of migratory birds in response to ongoing changes resulting from global climate changes are a topic of great interest to conservation scientists and birdwatchers around the world. Because of their dependence on specific habitats and resources in different geographic regions at different phases of their annual cycle, migratory species are especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.</p> <p>In Bird Migration and Global Change, eminent ecologist George W. Cox brings his extensive experience as a scientist and bird enthusiast to bear in evaluating the capacity of migratory birds to adapt to the challenges of a changing climate.</p> <p>Cox reviews, synthesizes, and interprets recent and emerging science on the subject, beginning with a discussion of climate change and its effect on habitat, and followed by eleven chapters that examine responses of bird types across all regions of the globe. The final four chapters address the evolutionary capacity of birds, and consider how best to shape conservation strategies to protect migratory species in coming decades.</p> <p>The rate of climate change is faster now than at any other moment in recent geological history. How best to manage migratory birds to deal with this challenge is a major conservation issue, and Bird Migration and Global Change is a unique and timely contribution to the literature.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 8,091円

Bird Stories from Burroughs Sketches of Bird Life Taken from the Works of John Burroughs【電子書籍】[ John Burroughs ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In "Bird Stories from Burroughs," John Burroughs artfully intertwines personal narrative with keen natural observation to deliver a series of vignettes that celebrate the beauty and complexity of avian life. Written in a lyrical prose that reflects both his reverence for nature and his philosophical musings, Burroughs invites readers into a world where birds are not merely subjects of study, but fellow inhabitants of the earth with whom we share a profound connection. The book is situated within the broader context of the 19th-century American nature writing movement, characterized by a growing awareness of the environment and a desire to observe and preserve the wilderness. John Burroughs, a prominent figure in American literature and a contemporary of notable naturalists such as John Muir and Ralph Waldo Emerson, was deeply influenced by the transcendentalist movement and his own experiences in nature. His lifelong passion for botany and ornithology, along with his role as an advocate for conservation, propelled him to document the intricacies of birds and their habitats. Burroughs'??s reflective style is imbued with personal insights, suggesting an intricate bond between the observer and the observed, which speaks profoundly to the human condition. This enchanting collection is highly recommended for readers who seek to deepen their appreciation of nature and the avian world. Whether you are a seasoned birdwatcher, an aspiring nature enthusiast, or simply curious about the intricate lives of birds, Burroughs'??s stories provide a captivating and thoughtful exploration that bridges the gap between humanity and the natural realm.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 150円

Pigeons The Fascinating Saga of the World's Most Revered and Reviled Bird【電子書籍】[ Andrew D. Blechman ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>A "quirky, endlessly entertaining" look at the surprising history of the pigeon (Simon Winchester).</strong></p> <p>Domesticated since the dawn of man, pigeons have been used as crucial communicators in war by every major historical superpower from ancient Egypt to the United States and are credited with saving thousands of lives. They have been worshipped as fertility goddesses and revered as symbols of peace. Charles Darwin relied heavily on pigeons to help formulate and support his theory of evolution. Yet today they are reviled as "rats with wings."</p> <p>To research this lively history of the humble pigeon, the author traveled across the United States and Europe to meet with pigeon fanciers and pigeon haters in a quest to find out how we came to misunderstand one of mankind's most helpful and steadfast companions. <em>Pigeons</em> captures a Brooklyn man's quest to win the Main Event (the pigeon world's equivalent of the Kentucky Derby), as well as a convention dedicated to breeding the perfect bird. The author participates in a live pigeon shoot where entrants pay $150; he tracks down Mike Tyson, the nation's most famous pigeon lover; he spends time with Queen Elizabeth's Royal Pigeon Handler; and he sheds light on a radical "pro-pigeon underground" in New York City. In <em>Pigeons</em>, Andrew D. Blechman reveals for the first time the remarkable story behind this seemingly unremarkable bird.</p> <p>"A quick and thoroughly entertaining read, <em>Pigeons</em> will leave readers chuckling at the quirky characters and pondering surprising pigeon facts." ー <em>Audubon Magazine</em></p> <p>"Manages to illuminate not merely the ostensible subject of the book, but also something of the endearing, repellent, heroic, and dastardly nature of that most bizarre of breeds, Homo sapiens." ーSalon.com</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,760円

Bird Brain An Exploration of Avian Intelligence【電子書籍】[ Nathan Emery ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p><strong>This surprising look at the intelligence and behavior of birds is "a winner . . . the illustrations are excellentーdramatic, informative, and fun" (Frank Gill, author of <em>Ornithology</em>).</strong><br /> <em>One of</em> Forbes <em>'s Best Books About Birds and Birding of the Year</em><br /> Birds have not been known for their high IQs, which is why a person of questionable intelligence is sometimes called a "birdbrain." Yet in the past two decades, the study of avian intelligence has witnessed dramatic advances. From a time when birds were seen as simple instinct machines responding only to stimuli in their external worlds, we now know that some birds have complex internal worlds as well. This book provides an engaging exploration of the avian mind, revealing how science is exploding one of the most widespread myths about our feathered friendsーand changing the way we think about intelligence in other animals as well.<br /> <em>Bird Brain</em> looks at the structures and functions of the avian brain, and describes the extraordinary behaviors that different types of avian intelligence give rise to. It offers insights into crows, jays, magpies, and other corvidsーthe "masterminds" of the avian worldーas well as parrots and some less-studied species from around the globe. This lively and accessible book shows how birds have sophisticated brains with abilities previously thought to be uniquely human, such as mental time travel, self-recognition, empathy, problem solving, imagination, and insight. Written by a leading expert and featuring a foreword by Frans de Waal, renowned for his work on animal intelligence, <em>Bird Brain</em> shines critical new light on the mental lives of birds.<br /> "This lovely book combines pictures of bird species, diagrams of experimental situations, and brain anatomy to provide information about bird intelligence. The illustrations are superb!" ー <em>Choice</em><br /> "Complex ideas are made intelligible with the aid of sharp, and often stunning, designーgorgeous close-up photographs and smart infographics." ー <em>Library Journal</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,960円

Avechroma the Science of Bird Colours and Genetic Bird Colour Defects【電子書籍】[ Herman Newkirk ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>In studying bird colors for more than 40 years, amongst others as a bird breeder, the author has made a number of new discoveries related to the creation and display of colors in birds, and especially changes in color. What he has discovered is the way in which bird colors are created, and 8 genetic, inheritable defects that are responsible for all the changes in bird colors. It explains all the different bird colors seen by bird watchers in nature, and also point scientists in a direction to further the "Science of Avechroma", the name he has given to the new science, or sub-science, of studying bird colors.</p> <p>Understanding bird colors is an interesting and fascinating subject, but very complex. The main reason for this is that the colors that the human eye perceives, are actually reflected or refracted light waves; the reflected light waves according to one of two different color systems. To understand colors is, therefore a hybrid science between biology, optics, chromatics, chemistry, physics, psychology and genealogy.</p> <p>To relay the information to Mr. Average, the author makes extensive use of simplified graphics and illustrations. They would sometimes not correspond to exactly what one would see under, for instance, an electron microscope in the cell of a bird, but has the purpose of explaining the different conditions and processes to the layman.</p> <p>With the knowledge contained in this book, birdwatchers will now be able to fully understand the differently colored birds of the same species that they may encounter in the field, while breeders may even completely understand the breeding of birds with different colors and breed their birds accordingly.</p> <p>The reason why conditions such as leucism and melanism have a number of different interpretations, some completely wrong, and why a condition such as xanthocronism has been "created" by scientists while it actually does not exist at all, is because of scientists trying to explain the forming and display of colors in birds from different scientific bases. To emphasise this viewpoint: You cannot explain the formation and display of biological, pigment based colors by optics, and you can not explain optically created colors biologically. And in birds colors are created and perceived both biologically and optically! While refraction of light also comes into play.</p> <p>Scientists can now incorporate the new discoveries about color and genetic defects in birds as described in this book, in genetic science and adapt their present knowledge bases, theories and definitions where required. They can totally rethink dominance and recessiveness, they can kiss the old theories of xanthocronism goodbye, and look anew at the pure definitions for leucism and melanism. They can also rethink the theory of spontaneous mutations and replace it with the law of color changes as a result of specific, identifiable, predictable and calculable color defects. They can transfer the knowledge obtained from this publication, to other groups of living animals such as fishes, insects, plants and even man. Breeders breeding animals such as dogs, cats, horses and birds, will also benefit from this knowledge.</p> <p>In a further exciting development the author discovered that the gene defects that he discovered, are also responsible for the different eye, skin and hair colors of humans, and the same gene defects the create color blindness. Color blindness is addressed in a separate publication of the author.</p> <p>Not only does this publication establish Avechroma as the Sciene of Color in Birds, but it can contribute immensely to the expansion of knowledge in other scientific fields as well.</p> <p>The author is proud to submit the results of 40 years of intense study to you, the reader, in this publication.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 1,000円
