Avian Flight covers all the main aspects of aerial locomotion by birds including sections on the history of thinking about bird flight, aerodynamics, functional morphology, evolution, kinematics, physiology, energetics and the cost of flight. The subject is complex and still not yet fully understood, and the author argues a convincing case for rethinking or even abandoning some of the old, well-established concepts.

Vliegen is gedragen worden door de lucht, verplaatsen zonder contact met de grond. Het is een wijdverbreide techniek in de natuur; vele malen opnieuw ge�volueerd. Organismen die de kunst beheersen exploreren grotere gebieden en reizen gemakkelijker dan terrestrische soorten. Welke vliegmethoden zijn er ontstaan en wat begrijpen we van het fenomeen?Vliegen fascineert mensen omdat we het zelf niet kunnen. Als tweevoetige gewervelde landdieren gebruiken we onze voorpoten voor van alles en nog wat, maar we kunnen er niet mee vliegen. Vogels, vleermuizen en pterosauri�rs zijn tweevoetige vertebraten die hun omgebouwde armen als vleugels gebruiken. Bij vogels zijn het gespecialiseerde veren die vliegen mogelijk maken; vleermuizen en pterosauri�rs vliegen met vleugels van huid. Insecten hebben drie paar poten maar geen daarvan opgeofferd om er vleugels van te maken. Ze vliegen op heel veel manieren met harde huidplooien op hun rug. Veel planten gebruiken de vliegkunst om zich zwevend te verspreiden. Vliegen is waarschijnlijk begonnen als zweven, gedragen door de wind; actieve slagvlucht komt uitsluitend voor bij insecten en bij drie groepen gewervelde dieren.De mens heeft de kunst om vliegmachines te ontwikkelen van zwevende vogels afgekeken en vervolgens tot grote perfectie ontwikkeld. Maar slechts enkele van de vele mogelijkheden die de natuur laat zien zijn tot nu toe gebruikt. Welke andere technieken zijn er en hoe zouden we die kunnen benutten?Het wonder van de vliegkunst in de natuur is nog steeds niet helemaal begrepen. De structuren die gebruikt worden om te vliegen, de bewegingen en het krachtenspel in interactie met de lucht en energetische aspecten roepen nog veel vragen op. Mogelijk begrijpen we er meer van wanneer we de evolutieprocessen die geleid hebben tot vliegen beter begrijpen.Wat we er van weten wordt in 'Vliegkunst in de Natuur' samengevat in hoofdstukken over:* De geschiedenis (van prehistorie tot heden) van de ontwikkeling van kennis van het fenomeen vliegen.* Het genereren van lift, stuwkracht en weerstand bij vliegende organismen.* De biologische diversiteit bij passieve verplaatsing door de wind, bij zweven en slagvlucht.* De bouw en werking van de slagvluchtapparaten van insecten en gewervelde dieren.* Energieverbruik bij het vliegen van insecten, vogels en vleermuizen. * De evolutie van de vliegkunst bij insecten, pterosauri�rs, vogels en vleermuizen.

J.M. Burgers (1895--1981) is regarded as one of the leading scientists in the field of fluid mechanics, contributing many important results, a number of which still bear his name. However, the work of this outstanding scientist was mostly published in the Proceedings and Transactions of The Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences, of which he was a distinguished member. Nowadays, this work is almost impossible to obtain through the usual library channels. Therefore, the editors have decided to reissue the most important work of J.M. Burgers, which gives the reader access to the original papers which led to important results, now known as the Burgers Equation, the Burgers Vector and the Burgers Vortex. Further, the book contains a biography of J.M. Burgers, which provides the reader with both information on his scientific life, as well as a rounded impression of the many activities which J.M. Burgers performed or was involved in outside his science.

Animal Locomotion: Physical Principles and Adaptations is a professional-level, state of the art review and reference summarizing the current understanding of macroscopic metazoan animal movement. The comparative biophysics, biomechanics and bioengineering of swimming, flying and terrestrial locomotion are placed in contemporary frameworks of biodiversity, evolutionary process, and modern research methods, including mathematical analysis. The intended primary audience is advanced-level students and researchers primarily interested in and trained in mathematics, physical sciences and engineering. Although not encyclopedic in its coverage, anyone interested in organismal biology, functional morphology, organ systems and ecological physiology, physiological ecology, molecular biology, molecular genetics and systems biology should find this book useful.

Biology and Comparative Physiology of Birds, Volume II focuses on the physiology, sexual characteristics, sensory organs, nervous system, and reproduction of birds. The selection first offers information on the central nervous system and sensory organ of birds, as well as cerebralization and related problems, brain, spinal cord, skin, taste, and olfaction. The book then ponders on equilibration, vision, and hearing of birds. Topics include regulation of somatic musculature, sensory structures and their nerves, retina, color vision, and structure of the ear. The publication examines endocrine glands, thymus, and pineal body and sex and secondary sexual characters, including genetic sex and sex differentiation, adrenal and parathyroid glands, and pituitary or hypophysis. The text also takes a look at energy metabolism, thermoregulation, body temperature, reproduction, breeding seasons and migration, and flight of birds. The selection is a vital source of information for readers interested in the physiology of birds.

In October 1918, Jan Burgers, 23 years old, started as professor of ‘aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, and their applications’ at the Technical University in Delft. This can be regarded as the birth of fluid mechanics in the Netherlands, not only as an academic discipline but also as the start of the serious study of flow phenomena in engineering environments. During the period of Burgers’ tenure in Delft (till 1955) three Dutch institutes were founded which to this day remain important centres of research in various fields of fluid mechanics: aerospace engineering, hydraulics, and naval engineering. Burgers and others developed mathematical, experimental, and numerical approaches of a broad range of fluid flows; some of their achievements have become well-known worldwide and can be seen as highlights of Dutch fluid mechanics. From the 1950s ‘stromingsleer’ (flow theory) attained a permanent and respected place in the curriculum and research of (technical) universities, at many old and new research institutes and also at several industrial research laboratories. In the 1980s fluid mechanics finally became ‘recognized’ as a serious branch of physics and an important field of (applied) science. This resulted in a close cooperation between academic groups, institutes and industry and the foundation of the Burgerscentrum, the Research School for Fluid Mechanics in the Netherlands. One hundred years after Burgers’ appointment in Delft, Dutch fluid mechanics is still very much alive. This volume gives a full account of its rich history and also offers a view on the broad range of areas of application: transport, energy production, biology and medicine, production processes, etc. It has been written not only for those working in this field but also for those interested in the history of Dutch science and in the development of science and the fascinating world of fluid flow phenomena.
