Summary

"Earth Hums Constantly" explores the intriguing phenomenon of the Earth's hum, a continuous low-frequency vibration detected worldwide. This subtle hum offers a unique window into Earth's interior, potentially revealing secrets about its structure and dynamics. The book investigates how advancements in seismology and the deployment of global networks of seismometers enabled the discovery of this constant vibration. Understanding the Earth's hum can improve seismic monitoring techniques, refine models of Earth's interior, and provide insights into the planet's response to environmental changes. The book systematically examines the proposed sources of the Earth's hum, including atmospheric turbulence and ocean wave activity, showing how these forces contribute to the planet's free oscillation. It presents evidence from seismic data and theoretical models, addressing challenges in distinguishing the hum from other seismic signals. Connecting Earth science with atmospheric science, oceanography, and geophysics, the book emphasizes the interdisciplinary approach needed to understand our planet. Beginning with the hum's discovery and early debates, the book progresses to analyze its characteristics at different locations and depths. It culminates in a discussion of how studying the Earth's hum can enhance our understanding of Earth's structure and its response to significant environmental changes, making it a valuable resource for students, researchers, and anyone interested in planetary science and Earth dynamics.

Rethinking Rescue - Dog Lady and...

Carol Mithers

In Los Angeles's most underserved communities, Lori Weise is known as the Dog Lady, the woman who's spent decades caring for people in poverty and the animals that love them. Long before anyone else, Weise grasped that animal and human suffering are inextricably connected and created a new rescue narrative, an enduring safety net empowering pet owners and providing resources to reduce the number of pets coming into shelters. 
 
 
 
Rethinking Rescue: Dog Lady and the Story of America's Forgotten People and Pets unites the causes of animal welfare and social justice, moving between Weise's story and that of the US rescue movement: from the dog's twentieth-century transition from property to family to the rise of the no kill campaign to stop shelter euthanasia and the contradictions that hampered those efforts. Through captivating storytelling and investigative reporting, Carol Mithers examines the consequences of bias within this overwhelmingly white movement, where an overemphasis on placing animals in affluent homes often disregards pet owners in poverty. Weise's innovative and ultimately triumphant efforts revealed a better way. 
 
 
 
Rethinking Rescue boldly confronts two of the biggest challenges of our time—poverty and homelessness—in asking the very humane question, Who deserves the love of a pet?

THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a shared universe of interconnected films, television series, and other media properties, based on Marvel Comics characters. Kevin Feige is a key figure in its development, having conceived the shared media universe and serving as the studio chief. Initially planned as a series of individual films that merged into crossovers, the MCU has expanded to include television event series, short films, and digital content, all contributing to an overarching narrative. The MCU's narrative is divided into phases, with the first three phases collectively known as "The Infinity Saga" and phases four through six known as "The Multiverse Saga". Marvel Studios has also created an animation branch to produce more animated content. The MCU has also expanded into other media, such as theme park attractions, exhibits, documentaries and books.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The Marvel Cinematic Universe was initially referred to as the "Marvel Cinema Universe" by Kevin Feige before he changed the name. The shared narrative continuity expanded beyond just films to include other media.
Marvel Studios secured a $525 million revolving credit facility with Merrill Lynch to raise capital for their film projects. This funding enabled the studio to plan individual films for main characters that would eventually merge into crossover movies.
Avi Arad, who resigned from Marvel in 2006, doubted the shared universe strategy would work, and felt it was his reputation that secured the initial financing. He did not believe that individual films would be successful.
