MySQL High Availability, 2nd Edition

Colophon

The animal on the cover of MySQL High Availability is an American robin (Turdus migratorius). Instantly recognizable by its distinctive appearance–dark head, reddish-orange breast, and brown back–this member of the thrush family is among the most common American birds. (Though it shares its name with the European robin, which also has a reddish breast, the two species are not closely related.)

The American robin inhabits a range of six million square miles in North America and is resident year-round through much of the United States. Commonly considered a harbinger of spring, robins are early to sing in the morning and among the last birds singing at night. Their diets consist of invertebrates (often earthworms) and fruit and berries. Robins favor open ground and short grass, so they are frequent backyard visitors, and they are often found in parks, in gardens, and on lawns.
