Sinopsis

"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.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    West Nile Virus - Basics to Mastery guides you from first encounter with a mosquito-borne flaviviral infection to confident, nuanced decision-making. Clear explanations unpack how West Nile circulates between birds and Culex mosquitoes, why humans and horses are usually dead-end hosts, and what drives the spectrum from silent infection to life-threatening neuroinvasive disease. Because there is currently no licensed human vaccine and treatment is mainly supportive, you will see why prevention hinges on reducing mosquito exposure and recognizing early warning signs in those at higher risk. Along the way you follow realistic late-summer scenarios—from a young adult with West Nile fever to an older patient with encephalitis—to see how epidemiology, clinical clues, and basic lab data fit together. Designed for students, clinicians, veterinarians, and public health professionals, this book emphasizes evidence-based practice, practical prevention strategies, and respectful communication with worried families while always reminding readers that it cannot replace individualized medical advice from qualified providers. 
    ✓ Stepwise introduction to virology, immunology, and vector biology tailored to West Nile rather than generic mosquito-borne infections. 
    ✓ Clear algorithms for triage, diagnostic testing, and interpretation, including when to suspect neuroinvasive disease and involve specialists. 
    ✓ Up-to-date synthesis of global and regional epidemiology, risk factors, and seasonal patterns, with tips for reading surveillance reports critically. 
    ✓ Practical prevention playbook covering personal protection, household mosquito control, and community-level vector management strategies. 
    ✓ Ready-to-use teaching tools: summary tables, memory aids, and case-based questions that reinforce learning from basics through advanced mastery.
