520    Acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has returned
       every year since boyhood to a beloved patch of western 
       Maine woods. What is the biology in humans of this deep in
       the bones pull toward a particular place, and how is it 
       related to animal homing? Heinrich explores the 
       fascinating science chipping away at the mysteries of 
       animal migration:  how geese imprint true visual landscape
       memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures, from 
       fish to insects to amphibians, to pinpoint their home if 
       they are displaced from it; and how the tiniest of 
       songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering
       over vast distances. Most movingly, Heinrich chronicles 
       the spring return of a pair of sandhill cranes to their 
       home pond in the Alaska tundra. With his trademark 
       "marvelous, mind altering" prose (Los Angeles Times), he 
       portrays the unmistakable signs of deep psychological 
       emotion in the newly arrived birds, and reminds us that to
       discount our own emotions toward home is to ignore biology
       itself.
