Klappentext Although no one had ever followed North American monarch butterflies on their annual southward journey to Mexico and California, in the 1990s there were well-accepted assumptions about the nature and form of the migration. But to Robert Michael Pyle, a naturalist with long experience in monarch conservation, the received wisdom about the butterflies long journey just didn t make sense. In the autumn of 1996 he set out to uncover the facts, to pursue the tide of cinnamon sailors on their long, mysterious flight.Pyle's classic account of discovery along the migration trail of monarch butterflies is part natural history, part road trip adventure
