The definitive work on the European Storm-petrel and its relatives, by one of the world's leading experts on the species.Imagine a bird as small as a sparrow, which lives most of its life on the open ocean yet can survive for decades. It walks on the water, and migrates half way around the world, returning to remote islands to breed underground, often in exactly the same rock crevice each year. To attract a mate it sings like a fairy and smells aromatic, but it vomits oil onto its enemies. It visits its nest by night, lays a single enormous egg, and feeds its chick until the nestling weighs more than both its parents put together. It seems to have little fear of humans, but was itself sometimes feared by ancient seafarers. This might sound like the stuff of legend but is actually the description of a real creature; the European Storm-petrel; walker on water, global wanderer, climate sentinel and open-ocean survivor, and a member of a group of around twenty species that form the Hydrobatidae family. The latest in the Poyser series, with comprehensive text and beautiful illustrations throughout, this follows the remarkable life of the storm-petrel. Focusing on the European species, it tracks their lives from the remote North Atlantic islands, where they breed via the coasts of Africa, to the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean, where they spend the northern winter. There is also some discussion on other members of the storm-petrel family. We learn about their evolution, behaviour, ecology and adaptations to a life in the harsh and unpredictable environment of the open ocean, and discover what these enigmatic seabirds reveal about what humans are doing to our planet.

With this practical guide, business leaders will discover where they are in their AI journey and learn the steps necessary to successfully scale AI throughout their organization.
