Read online book Paul Kerlinger - Flight Strategies of Migrating Hawks in DOC, MOBI, DJV
9780226431666 English 0226431665 Hawks fly at very high altitudes, sometimes over water, and thus their flight behavior and migration patterns are extremely difficult to study. Now, based on nearly ten years of research, this book provides the most complete analysis to date of how hawks migrate. Paul Kerlinger has employed both direct observations and radar techniques to obtain a much more accurate understanding of the migratory behavior of hawks and the decisions they make in flight. And, he has integrated data on the flight behavior of raptors in general with information about their ecology, physiology, evolution, and nonmigratory behavior. Kerlinger begins with an overview, discussing ecology and geography, research methods, natural history, and evolution, and atmospheric structure. He then addresses specific aspects of flight behavior: aerodynamics, morphology, mechanics, direction, altitude, flocking, water crossing, speed selection, daily distance traveled, and flight strategies. Kerlinger describes each aspect of behavior quantitatively, testing mechanistic hypotheses. In conclusion, he examines how migrants integrate these behavioral components. Throughout the text he draws comparisons between the migratory flight behavior of hawks and that of other taxa. By means of such comparisons, researchers can gain insight into the selective pressures that shape the behavior of migrant species., The Only Answer to Success contains a proven formula for changing your mind-set to that of a true "champion." Based on thousands of hours of research and personal experience, Dr. Leonard Coldwell has come up with a proven way to retrain your mind to achieve any goal or get through any challenge with zero stress. He will systematically show you how to change the subconscious negative mind programming that is eating away your drive and enthusiasm. He will also help you counter the negative influences of family members, friends, coworkers, the government, the media, and other supposed well-wishers that do more harm than good. After applying Dr. Coldwell's proven mind conditioning, you will retrain your mind to find success everywhere. You will be guided to success like a targeted missile. If you follow Dr. Coldwell's proven approach becoming successful is inevitable. You will truly have the only answer to success., This book is the product of nearly ten years of research. It focuses on the empirical aspects of flight behavior of migrating hawks, mostly through my own studies using radar and direct visual observations.
