Hardcover. Etat : Good. Etat de la jaquette : Acceptable. Dutch De Grote Trek Elk jaar ondernemen kleine zangvogels, fitissen genaamd, een tocht van achtduizend kilometer om de winterkou te ontlopen. Toch wegen ze maar enkele grammen. Omgerekend naar de mens komt dit neer op een reis van tien maal de afstand aarde ? maan. De palingen, die in de rivieren van Europa en Noord-Amerika zwemmen zijn zonder uitzondering volwassen. De larven komen in één bepaald stukje van de Atlantische Oceaan ter wereld en moeten jaren reizen voor ze hun ontwikkeling tot zoetwaterdier kunnen afmaken. Twee staaltjes van trek, waarbij uit het laatste voorbeeld blijkt, dat trek zich niet alleen beperkt tot vogels, wat de meeste mensen gauw geneigd zijn te denken. In dit fraaie, geheel in kleur uitgevoerde naslagwerk komen systematisch achtereenvolgens aan de orde: planten, ongewervelde dieren, insekten, vissen, amfibieën en reptielen, vogels, vleermuizen, waterzoogdieren, landzoogdieren en mensen. Kortom: alles wat leeft en beweegt in de natuur. Aan de hand van twee inleidende hoofdstukken wordt naast een historisch overzicht uitvoerig verklaard wat men volgens de laatste onderzoekmethoden onder trek verstaat. Het sensationele aspect van deze uitgave is de belangwekkende ontdekking van Dr Robin Baker over trek: de mens beschikt over een magnetisch gericht oriëntatievermogen, dat vergelijkbaar is met dat van sommige diersoorten. Dit nieuwe stukje wetenschap wordt op begrijpelijke wijze aan de lezer uiteengezet. Aan de hand van talrijke kleurenfoto's, schematische tekeningen, diagrammen en landkaarten krijgt men een volledig overzicht van het trekgedrag van al het levend organisme in de natuur. Het boek werd geschreven door een internationaal team van deskundigen, waarbij de eindredactie van de Nederlandse uitgave in handen was van Midas Dekkers, die in ons land bekend is door zijn vele publikaties over de natuur.…
