Taos Hum

Sinopse

The "Taos Hum" explores the science behind a mysterious, low-frequency noise experienced worldwide, most notably in Taos, New Mexico. This environmental phenomenon, often described as a persistent drone, significantly impacts those who perceive it. The book meticulously examines the acoustic properties of the Hum, its physiological and psychological effects, and potential environmental or technological sources. Understanding this pervasive sound is crucial, as it sheds light on auditory perception and the impact of modern technology on human health. This investigation avoids conjecture, focusing on scientific methods and verified data to dissect the Hum.

The book argues that a single cause may be unlikely; instead, a combination of factors contributes to the reported experiences, varying by location. Individual auditory sensitivity plays a key role in perception, with some people more susceptible to low-frequency sounds. Did you know that infrasound, sound below the range of human hearing, can still be perceived by the body?

The book progresses systematically, beginning with the history of Taos Hum reports and initial scientific responses. It then delves into acoustic properties, auditory perception, and potential environmental and technological origins, such as industrial activity or geophysical phenomena. Case studies and scientific data are presented, offering a nuanced perspective and potential mitigation strategies. The book's interdisciplinary approach is vital for holistically understanding this elusive environmental acoustics puzzle.

Dispossessing the Wilderness -...

Mark David Spence

National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal. By contrasting the native histories of these places with the links between Indian policy developments and preservationist efforts, this work examines the complex origins of the national parks and the troubling consequences of the American wilderness ideal. The first study to place national park history within the context of the early reservation era, it details the ways that national parks developed into one of the most important arenas of contention between native peoples and non-Indians in the twentieth century.

Under the Henfluence - Inside...

Tove Danovich

Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
 
 
 
From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.
