The Endless Migrations
New York: E. P. Dutton, 1985. Kimio Honda. hardcover. 8vo. 263pp. from front flap: "Migration can be as regular as clockwork (cariobou), sporadic (cedar waxwing) or cyclic (lemming, snowy owl); it can range from a few hundred yards by a shrew to the 22,000-mile journey of the Arctic tern. Distance is not a criterion, says teh author; migration is a survival tactic. Caras, author of The Forest and other books on natural history, looks at animals on the move in North America--in the air, on land, in the sea. This is a compelling narrative that sweeps us along with the migrators, alerting us to the hazards of both the journey and the new environment."
