Sinossi

Silent City Living explores the critical issue of urban noise pollution and its profound effect on environmental health and city living. It examines how persistent noise impacts everything from sleep quality to cardiovascular health, highlighting noise pollution as a major environmental risk. The book traces the history of urban noise, from horse-drawn carriages to modern transportation, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive noise reduction strategies. Did you know that noise pollution can affect cognitive performance and that urban planning strategies can greatly reduce noise? The book details varied noise reduction techniques, like implementing green infrastructure and sound barriers, and analyzes successful noise management plans from different cities. It advocates for an integrated approach, combining technological solutions, urban planning, and environmental policy, to create quieter urban environments. It uses GIS to visually represent noise pollution patterns. The book begins by introducing the sources and effects of urban noise, progresses to assessing noise reduction techniques and policies, and culminates in case studies and a framework for noise management. What makes Silent City Living unique is its emphasis on holistic noise management, advocating for a multifaceted approach that considers the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of urban noise. It's a valuable resource for urban planners, policymakers, and anyone passionate about creating healthier urban communities.

    The surprising, rich life of tree swallows in nesting season—with Heinrich’s beautiful illustrations and photographs—by the acclaimed naturalist. Heinrich is sparked one early spring day by a question: Why does a pair of swallows in a nest-box close to his Maine cabin show an unvarying preference for white feathers—not easily available nearby—as nest lining? He notices, too, the extreme aggressiveness of “his” swallows toward some other swallows of their own kind. And he wonders, given swallows’ reputation for feistiness, at the extraordinary tameness and close contact he experiences with his nesting birds. From the author of the beloved books Ravens in Winter and A Naturalist at Large, this richly engaging view of the lives of wild birds, as always with Heinrich, yields “marvelous, mind-altering” insight and discoveries. —Los Angeles Times Narrator Rick Adamson is proud to have presented several titles from author Bernd Heinrich. He is an Audie Award winner for his voicing of IN A HEARTBEAT, from the authors of the true story that became the film THE BLIND SIDE.  Around NYC and his home studio in New Jersey, he has worked in commercials, corporate and medical media, as well as educational content worldwide, for more than thirty years.
