With his insightful book Rappole, an emeritus researcher at the Smithsonian Institute, turns the centuries-year-long paradigms of bird migration theory upside down, twists them and builds a compelling case to convince the reader that his dispersal theory bears the truth about the origin of bird migration.\u003cbr\u003e—\u003ci\u003eCommunity Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.
