THE HOMING INSTINCT Meaning and Mystery in Animal Migration

To the joy of audiobook listeners and naturalists, Rick Adamson returns to narrate Bernd Heinrich's latest work. The program is filled with descriptions of how various species find, use, and return to their homes. The content moves from story to story and is well suited to a wide audience. Adamson's pacing keeps listeners engaged as he delivers scientific details, along with personal interludes. His varied inflections pull listeners into the natural world and the curious mind of Heinrich. Adamson also shines in delivering authentic-sounding conversations, particularly in the closing story about the human pull to return to one's juvenile home. S.K.G.
