  When I mentioned to my friends my desire to own a female robot, I got the most peculiar responses from them. Firstly, their eyes would light up from the shock. Then they whinnied like a horse laughing. And would slowly back away from me regarding me suspiciously as they did so. 
  A man like me must be careful when he enters old age because people treat you like an imbecile who’s trying to relive his youth by having the audacity to let ideas wander around aimlessly in his head. To some people, old age is frowned upon as a disability. 
  When the day came for me to decide to purchase the robot online, people send my wife wouldn’t allow me to have such a toy. She gave me a lecture on how retired people should act and bringing a female robot into her house was not the act of a sane old fart. “I forbid you having such idle nonsense.” 
  I pressed down hard on the “order now” button and awaited the outcome…

  Why Whales Sing

  With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that can sing continuously for ten hours or more, changing the unique songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing, bioacoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. 
   
  Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they're alone? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats—echolocating—which enables them to see their world with sound.  
   
  Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.
