Synopsis

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.

    An examination of the barriers facing Indigenous people within the healthcare system from the perspective of an empathetic settler physician 
    After leaving her medical practice in Pennsylvania in 2011, Jarol Boan returned to her childhood home in Saskatchewan, Canada to practice medicine. There she found a healthcare system struggling with preventable chronic diseases and institutional racism. Shocked by the high rate of preventable diseases in her patients, Boan realized that a paternalistic deficit model does not support Indigenous communities. Through working to provide medical services in Indigenous communities and learning firsthand from her Indigenous patients, Boan embarked on a road to enlightenment and reconciliation. 
    In The Medicine Chest, Boan exposes the healthcare disparities in a country that prides itself on an equitable healthcare system and examines the devastating effects of diabetes, the myth of “the drunken Indian,” the inner workings of hospitals, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, epidemics on reserves, and residential school trauma. Exploring the intersectionality of common diseases and social determinants of health gained from her experience of caring for Indigenous patients, Boan weaves historical data, comments on health policy, and jurisdictional gaps into the narrative while investigating how Canada’s healthcare system is failing those most in need.

    What makes a nation scientific: its inventions, or its willingness to pursue knowledge without an immediate profit? 
     
    In this incisive essay from *Civilization in the United States*, anthropologist Robert H. Lowie examines America’s complicated relationship with scientific achievement. 
     
    Lowie acknowledges the country’s important researchers and practical accomplishments, but challenges the belief that commercial invention alone represents scientific greatness. America excels at applying discoveries to machines, products, and industry, he argues, while frequently neglecting the patient theoretical work on which those applications depend. 
     
    Pure scientists face limited funding, low professional status, exhausting teaching and administrative duties, and pressure to produce results that appeal to wealthy patrons or business-minded institutions. Universities often prize organization, efficiency, and publicity above the independent thinkers whose creativity gives scientific institutions their value. 
     
    Lowie also warns against intellectual conformity. Genuine discovery requires more than technical skill: it demands broad education, academic freedom, philosophical reflection, and what he calls “reasoned nonconformism”—the courage to question accepted authorities without abandoning evidence or disciplined thought. 
     
    Originally published in 1922, *Science* is a thoughtful critique of commercialism, institutional bureaucracy, and the cultural conditions required for lasting innovation. 
     
    Narrated by John Riddle.
