Summary

Shark Electrosense explores the captivating sensory world of sharks, focusing on their remarkable ability to detect electrical fields through electroreception. This unique sense, facilitated by the ampullae of Lorenzini, allows sharks to locate hidden prey, navigate vast oceans, and interact with their environment in ways previously not fully understood. The book highlights how electroreception influences hunting strategies and predator-prey interactions, offering insights into the sensory ecology of these fascinating creatures.

 
The book begins with a historical overview of electroreception and then progresses to discuss the biological mechanisms that support this, before moving into the ecological significance of electrosense. Using varied sources, including anatomical studies and behavioral observations, the book reveals how this sense has shaped the evolution and behavior of elasmobranchs.

 
A dedicated chapter explores the potential for developing shark deterrents by exploiting their electrosensitivity. Ultimately, this book challenges traditional perceptions of shark sensory biology and underscores the importance of electroreception in understanding shark behavior and conservation.

    Rewiring Democracy - How AI Will...

    In this advisedly optimistic book, Rewiring Democracy, security technologist Bruce Schneier and data scientist Nathan Sanders cut through the AI hype and examine the myriad ways that AI is transforming every aspect of democracy—for both good and ill.The authors describe how the sophistication of AI will fulfill demands from lawmakers for more complex legislation, reducing deference to the executive branch and altering the balance of power between lawmakers and administrators. They show how the scale and scope of AI is enhancing civil servants' ability to shape private-sector behavior, automating either the enforcement or neglect of industry regulations. They also explain how both lawyers and judges will leverage the speed of AI, upending how we think about law enforcement, litigation, and dispute resolution.Whether these outcomes enhance or degrade democracy depends on how we shape the development and use of AI technologies. Powerful players in private industry and public life are already using AI to increase their influence, and AIs built by corporations don't deliver the fairness and trust required by democratic governance. But, steered in the right direction, AI's broad capabilities can augment democratic processes and help citizens build consensus, express their voice, and shake up long-standing power structures.

    Cacophony of Bone - The Circle...

    Two days after the winter solstice in 2019, Kerri and her partner moved to a remote cottage in the heart of Ireland. They were looking for a home, somewhere to settle into a stable life. Then the pandemic arrived and their secluded abode became a place of enforced isolation. What was meant to be the beginning of an enriching new chapter was instead marked by uncertainty and fear. The seasons still passed, the swallows returned, the rhythms of the natural world went on, but in many ways 2020 was unlike any year we had seen before. And for Kerri there would be one more change: a baby, longed for but utterly, beautifully unexpected. 
 
 
 
Intensely lyrical, fragmentary in subject and form, Cacophony of Bone is an ode to a year, a place, and a love that transformed a life. When the pandemic came, time seemed to shapeshift; in Kerri’s elegant prose, we can trace its quickening, its slowing. She maps the circle of a year—a journey from one place to another, field notes of a life—from one winter to the next, telling of a changed life in a changed world, as well as all that stays the same. All that keeps on living and breathing, nesting and dying. This is a book for the listener who wants to slow down, guided by a voice that is utterly singular, "rich and strange," (Robert Macfarlane). A book about home—the deepening of family, the connections that sustain us.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
What if the comforts of modern life are quietly harming the youngest among us? 
In “Autism and Standard of Living”, Zivota Nikolic takes a bold step outside conventional medical thinking to explore how contemporary living spaces and environmental design may be contributing to the alarming rise in autism diagnoses. Drawing on years of independent research, Nikolic examines how poor ventilation, sealed environments, and rising carbon dioxide levels in homes, hospitals, and schools could be impacting early brain development—especially in infants and toddlers. 
This book doesn’t attempt to replace scientific consensus but instead invites a closer look at what has long been overlooked. Nikolic blends architecture, environmental science, and developmental biology to present a compelling case for rethinking the way we live, sleep, and raise our children. He questions the design of baby cribs, the configuration of HVAC systems, and the very standards by which modern buildings are constructed. 
If you’ve ever wondered why autism rates have surged in recent decades despite advances in medicine, this thought-provoking investigation offers a fresh lens. With clarity, logic, and urgency, “Autism and Standard of Living” challenges readers to see the unseen—and consider practical solutions rooted in simple changes to our surroundings. 
This is not just a book about autism. It is a call to rethink what we call progress.
