Reviews
"Tim Low masterfully tells a story not told before. He provides an elegant synthesis of the scientific literature and a panoramic view of how Australia's songbirds originated; the ecological and behavioral forces leading to their uniqueness; and ultimately their far-reaching impacts across the globe."--Scott Edwards, Harvard University, "Entertaining and engrossing . . . nearly every page offers a compelling, often shocking, story."-- Bird Watcher's Digest, " Where Song Began will be regarded as Tim Low's masterpiece. It is bewilderingly grand in ambition, rich in scientific detail and personal observations, and overflowing with ideas and, indeed, revelations."--Darryl Jones, Wildlife Australia, "Crammed with intriguing facts and ideas . . . A serious feat of synthesis that few bird observers or natural historians, let alone few authors, would have the knowledge, experience, time or access to academic resources to pull together."--Bob Beale, Sunday Age, "This book is written by a biologist with a gift for translating complex scientific research into riveting prose... Encounters with Australia's birdlife convinced me that it was special, but this account told me just how vital it is to understand its uniqueness."--Jonathan Elphick, BBC Wildlife, "Low delves into the weird and wonderful world of Aussie birds with the ease that comes with decades spent in the field . . . You'll never look at a songbird the same way again."-- Cool Green Science, "A brilliantly readable book that not only gives Australian birds recognition long overdue, but allows for a fresh understanding of the way the world (and particularly our island continent) functions."--Sean Dooley, Sydney Morning Herald "Crammed with intriguing facts and ideas. . . . A serious feat of synthesis that few bird observers or natural historians, let alone few authors, would have the knowledge, experience, time or access to academic resources to pull together."--Bob Beale, Sunday Age " Where Song Began has been credited with turning the map upside down, dashing upon the rocks of our shores the orthodoxy that the world''s cleverest birds must have had their genesis in the northern hemisphere."-- Wild magazine "This book is remarkable on many levels. . . . Low proves to be a master at translating new scientific breakthroughs into a compelling and eminently enjoyable read that will bring a new perspective on Australian birds to readers irrespective of their ornithological background."--Naomi Langmore, Emu " Where Song Began will be regarded as Tim Low''s masterpiece. It is bewilderingly grand in ambition, rich in scientific detail and personal observations, and overflowing with ideas and, indeed, revelations."--Darryl Jones, Wildlife Australia "Biologist Tim Low is as much a natural with words as he is a scholar of the natural world. He is caught up in the circle of gifted scientists, ecologists and field workers engaged in reshaping our picture of the Australian environment and the creatures it enfolds. Birds are a particular focus of his work, and thought--and it turns out that birds may well hold the most telling clues to the record of the Australian biosphere."--Nicolas Rothwell, The Australian "One of the best works of natural history to appear all year."-- Open Letters Monthly "Entertaining and engrossing . . . nearly every page offers a compelling, often shocking, story."-- Bird Watcher''s Digest "Low delves into the weird and wonderful world of Aussie birds with the ease that comes with decades spent in the field. . . . You''ll never look at a songbird the same way again."-- Cool Green Science "Low is to be congratulated for producing this very idea-rich ecological tapestry. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and found it very thought provoking. The book should be of interest to anyone interested in Australian ecology and birds."--William E. Davis, Jr., Wilson Journal of Ornithology "Highly enjoyable . . . Where Song Began . . . will enrich the understanding of anyone interested in birds."-- New York Review of Books "Both informative and provocative, Where Song Began will be enjoyed by all who are interested in birds. It is well written, engaging, and scholarly. A great read."--John M. Marzluff, author of Welcome to Subirdia "Low''s book weaves research with personal anecdote to unveil the uniqueness and richness of Australia''s birds. A fascinating read that will alter how you think about birds and their world."--Craig W. Benkman, University of Wyoming "Low takes us on a sweeping exploration of the southern hemisphere to reveal where song birds evolved, how they started to sing, and why we should care."--Michael Webster, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology "It''s a great story Tim Low has pieced together, and he tells it beautifully. This is natural history at its best. Excellent stuff."--Colin Tudge, author of The Secret Life of Birds and founder of the College for Real Farming and Food Culture (www.collegeforrealfarming.org) "Tim Low masterfully tells a story not told before. He provides an elegant synthesis of the scientific literature and a panoramic view of how Australia''s songbirds originated; the ecological and behavioral forces leading to their uniqueness; and ultimately their far-reaching impacts across the globe."--Scott Edwards, Harvard University, "It's a great story Tim Low has pierced together, and he tells it beautifully. This is natural history at its best. Excellent stuff."--Colin Tudge, author of The Secret Life of Birds and founder of the College for Real Farming and Food Culture (www.collegeforrealfarming.org), "Highly enjoyable . . . Where Song Began . . . will enrich the understanding of anyone interested in birds."-- New York Review of Books, "This book is a romp into bird evolution and the people who studied it, showing what is possible from the perspective of a unique environment." --Bernd Heinrich, author of Mind of the Raven, Nesting Season, and One Wild Bird at a Time, "It's a great story Tim Low has pieced together, and he tells it beautifully. This is natural history at its best. Excellent stuff."--Colin Tudge, author of The Secret Life of Birds and founder of the College for Real Farming and Food Culture (www.collegeforrealfarming.org), "Low takes us on a sweeping exploration of the southern hemisphere to reveal where song birds evolved, how they started to sing, and why we should care."--Michael Webster, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, "Low's book weaves research with personal anecdote to unveil the uniqueness and richness of Australia's birds. A fascinating read that will alter how you think about birds and their world."--Craig W. Benkman, University of Wyoming, "Tim Low's Where Song Began makes clear that most Australian birds, with some notable exceptions such as the lyrebird, are not renowned for what we consider pleasant song. However, DNA and other evidence indicate that songbirds originated in Australia. This book is a romp into bird evolution and the people who studied it, showing what is possible from the perspective of a unique environment."--Bernd Heinrich, author of Mind of the Raven, Nesting Season, and One Wild Bird at a Time, "Both informative and provocative, Where Song Began will be enjoyed by all who are interested in birds.
