Bird Flight by Robert Burton

Bird Flight by Robert Burton

This work approaches the bird as a flying machine, and presents a study of how and why birds fly. It uncovers the mysteries and techniques of birdflight and looks at the diversity of flight styles that have evolved and developed with the lifestyles that different birds have adopted.
