Chasing Doctor Dolittle - Learning the Language of Animals

Con Slobodchikoff

Sinossi

"Slobodchikoff's ground-breaking research" (Jonathan Balcombe) shows us that animals have much to teach us about languageGroundbreaking research has been done teaching animals human language, but what about the other way around? Studies have shown that lizards, squid, monkeys, and birds are talking to each other, communicating information about food, predators, squabbles, and petty jealousies. These animal languages are unique and highly adaptive. By exploring them, we come to appreciate the basis of our own languages; understanding or even "speaking" them allows us to get closer to the other species who inhabit this planet with us. The implications of animals having language are enormous. It has been one of the last bastions separating "us" from "them."Slobodchikoff's studies of the communication system of prairie dogs over twenty-five years have attracted a considerable amount of attention from the media, including a one-hour documentary on his work produced by BBC and Animal Planet. In Chasing Doctor Dolittle, he posits that the difference is one of degree, not the vast intellectual chasm that philosophers have talked about for millennia. Filled with meticulous research, vivid examples and daring conclusions, this book will challenge the reader's assumptions and open up new possibilities of understanding our fellow creatures.

James Webb Space Telescope...

Martin K. Ettington

The James Webb Space Telescope or JWST was launched on Christmas in 2021 to provide the most sensitive telescopic views of the Universe. 
It has already revolutionized our real world views of the early Universe and these observations question our current theories of the creation of the Universe. 
This book gets into the history of the JWST, the instruments it carries, new observations, and ideas of what these anomalies mean. 
We review some of the most important observations made to date, and finally, some theories of how to explain these incredible views of the early reality of the Universe. 
There are also some other anomalies in Space which are mentioned which were known before the JWST existed which also question the current Big Bang paradigm. 
We are living in a revolutionary period of Astronomy much like the questions which occurred to Astronomers and Physicists in the early 20th Century which led to the theories we have today on Universe creation. 
I’m sure that new paradigms will be the result of the current confusion which will contribute to new theories and better understandings of the world we live in.
