Otóż okazuje się, że dzięki "postępowi" (którego oczywiście zalety dostrzegam) staliśmy się intelektualnie niepełnosprawni, chociażby w zakresie orientacji przestrzennej.

Animals plainly know where they’re going, but how they get there has remained surprisingly mysterious—until now.

A very accessible and enlightening exploration of how bees, ants, beetles, butterflies, fish, birds, and humans navigate their way around the world. Pray where Jesus prayed for healing for those you know who suffer similarly, and learn to pray like Jesus. Gwarantuję, że nie będziecie się przy niej nudzić, bo co stronę, a nawet co akapit zaskoczy was nowa opowieść o geniuszu tych najmniejszych, teoretycznie najprostszych istot. Incredible journeys is not focused on humans, but instead examines the range of different methods used to measure position and correct. It is a hymn to the almost vanished art of fixing your position by the light of the sun and stars - with the aid of a sextant - an art on which mariners relied until only a generation ago.Before filming, producer Jack Couffer visited Burnford in Port Arthur, Ontario to photograph the surrounding countryside which he used to pinpoint a filming location that fitted the area as close as possible. Regardless of my frustration with the general organizational format, I still am always fascinated by animals in so many respects that books like these are always brain food for me and I'll never stop reading them. This actually did not really bother me here, because David Barrie really tried to explain in detail what is needed for navigation and how exactly animals use these tools (in their brain and in the environment) to get somewhere.

The chapters are short and each one has an "epilogue" which is usually interesting, sometimes pithy, or just provides something to think about.What sets us apart is that we are in a position to influence the fate of every other creature on the Planet and we have some choice in the matter. Whether you’re travelling for sights, culture, or even an occasion to celebrate, we can help match you to the journey of a lifetime! Barrie ( Sextant), a member of the Royal Institute of Navigation, masterfully conveys new discoveries about animal navigation in this impressive popular science work.

Many other mechanisms and behaviours will be unfamiliar even to most biologists and Barrie mines the primary literature for some delightful examples. The book flawlessly intertwines personal stories from Barrie's past with easily digestible accounts of the academic progress in the field of animal navigation, as well as remarkable tales of human navigation.Unlike the original story, the wilderness through which the three animals journey across is in the Sierra Nevada mountains, not the forested wilderness of Ontario. Navigating the world comes with its own terminology and some helpful illustrations show earth’s magnetic field, or how the sun’s path across the sky changes during the seasons.
