The book is written as a tutorial-like guide that can be used without any special background in physics. I found the book very stimulating and a pleasure to read. There is no doubt that this book is a must for those involved in birdsong research . I recommended it strongly. (Gabri l J. L.

The Physics of Birdsong is likely to remain essential reading for professional birdsong scientists for many
