"[Where the Animals Go] is an enthralling volume, downright
gorgeous in its illustrations and text. Its double intent is
brilliant, too — to bring each of us closer to the animal world and
to highlight fresh ways to think about conservation."
*Barbara King - NPR*
"Where the Animals Go elegantly elucidates the role new
technologies has played in expanding our knowledge of animal
migration."
*Science*
"Cheshire and Uberti write about billions of data points being
collected—some by citizen scientists—and their ravishing maps put
this information to good use…[They] show us with precision and
clarity where the animals go."
*The Washington Post*
"This book is beautiful as well as informative and inspiring. There
is no doubt it will help in our fight to save wildlife and wild
habitats."
*Jane Goodall*
"In recent years, technology has made it possible to track animal
movements from afar in more and more detail… [Cheshire and Uberti]
have dipped into this deluge of data to create 50 beautiful and
engaging maps that reveal the wanderings of animals."
*National Geographic*
"A striking example of how innovative technology can be used to
increase our understanding of the natural world."
*Financial Times*
"This is a special kind of detective story. After millennia of
using footprints, feces, feathers, broken foliage and nests to
track animals, the process is now so teched up you need to read
this book to find out the how, what and why."
*New Scientist*
"[A] stunning translation of movement onto paper."
*Scientific American*
"[W]ell laid out, easy to understand and a pleasure to return to
many times."
*Seattle Times*
"An enthralling look at the world that technology can help us
uncover… Exquisite."
*Emily Scragg - British Trust for Ornithology*
"Part coffee-table album, part scientific research compendium,
[Where the Animals Go] presents these global perambulations in lush
detail, reveling in their minutiae and in the technological leaps
that make such observations possible. . . tracking an animal
through time and space transforms it from a mere object of
scientific interest into a story whose unsolved mysteries capture
our imagination."
*M. R. O'Connor - Undark Magazine*
"[A] gorgeous data trove… Accompanying the text are beautifully
designed four-color maps and other visualizations … [A]n inspiring
introduction to an important area of science."
*Library Journal*
