The Physics of Birdsong (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering)

Description:

"This book deals with the physical mechanisms at work in the production of birdsong, the acoustic effects that the avian vocal organ is capable of generating, and the nature of the neural instructions needed to drive it. The book provides fascinating reading for physicists, biologists and general readers alike."--Jacket.
