Extract

A deeper understanding and love for the creatures with whom we share this planet must develop as we read the works of animal specialists. These great men and women will surely forgive a navigator who suggests alternative methods by which creatures may find their ways, methods which do not seem to conflict with the remarkable facts they have brought to light but which happen to conform to modern navigational principles.
