In this book, a physicist losing his eyesight shows birders what they haven't been seeing all along. Focusing on the underlying tapestry of nature, The Physics of Birds and Birding explores the science behind the colors, sounds, and behaviors of birds, the tools we use to enjoy them, and the deeper principles that make it all possible.
Michael Hurben is uniquely qualified to guide the curious through the exotic habitat where physics and birding intersect. He earned his PhD in physics from Colorado State University in 1996 and has accumulated a life list exceeding 5,000 bird species - despite being legally blind. His career has included award-winning teaching at the college level and decades of cutting-edge, nanoscale engineering in the high-tech magnetic recording industry. He and his wife Claire live in Minnesota.
