Beschreibung

"Whale Song Complexity" explores the captivating world of whale vocalizations, particularly those of humpback and blue whales. The book examines how these complex songs are structured, how they vary across different regions, and how they propagate through the ocean environment. Understanding whale song is critical, as it likely plays a significant role in mating rituals, social cohesion, and even navigation. Interestingly, the book highlights that whale songs are not just random noises but structured communications that evolve with learning and cultural transmission.

 
The book begins by establishing a baseline understanding of marine bioacoustics and whale physiology, including a history of whale song research. It then progresses through three main sections: the physiological mechanisms behind vocalization, the structure and regional dialects of whale songs, and how these sounds travel through the ocean. One intriguing aspect discussed is how oceanographic conditions like temperature and salinity affect sound propagation, potentially distorting the whale's message.

 
This comparative approach, analyzing both humpback and blue whale vocalizations, offers valuable insights into the complexity of whale communication and the impact of anthropogenic noise. Drawing upon extensive hydrophone recordings and integrating biology, acoustics, and oceanography, the book offers a holistic perspective on whale communication. It details the anatomy and physics of whale vocalization, the structure and regional variances of whale songs, and the propagation, range, and interpretation of meaning within this complex communication system.

 
The insights from "Whale Song Complexity" have practical applications, such as informing marine protected area planning and mitigating the impact of human-generated noise on whale populations.

    An atmospheric scientist explains why global climate change mitigation and energy decarbonization demand American diplomacy, technology, and policy 
     
     
      
    Professor of environmental engineering Daniel Cohan argues that escaping the gravest perils of climate change will first require American diplomacy, technological innovation, and policy to catalyze decarbonization globally. Combining his own expertise along with insights from more than a hundred interviews with diplomats, scholars, and clean-technology pioneers, Cohan identifies flaws in previous efforts to combat climate change. He highlights opportunities for more successful strategies, including international "climate clubs" and accelerated development of clean energy technologies. Grounded in history and emerging scholarship, this book offers a forward-looking vision of solutions to confronting climate gridlock and a clear-eyed recognition of the challenges to enacting them.

    Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
     
     
     
    Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
     
     
     
    To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

    “The most original and probably the most important writer on Magick since Aleister Crowley."—Robert Anton Wilson, author of the Prometheus Rising and other worksPeter Carroll’s classic work has been profound influence on the Western magical world and on the practice of chaos magick in particular. In Liber Null and Psychonaut, Carroll presents an approach to the practice of magic that draws on the foundations of shamanism and animism, as well as that found in the Greek magical papyri, the occult works of Eliphas Levi and Aleister Crowley, and the esoteric meditative practices of classical India and China. Also very much at work in the text are 20th century scientific ideas of quantum physics and chaos theory.The result is a profoundly original work of magical studies that also includes a selection of extremely powerful rituals and exercises for committed occultists with instructions that lead the reader through new concepts and practices to achieve Carroll’s definition of magic itself: the raising of the whole individual in perfect balance to the power of infinity.This Weiser Classics edition is a thoroughly revised republication of Liber Null and Psychonaut, first published by Weiser in 1987, and includes a new foreword by Ronald Hutton, a leading authority on modern witchcraft and paganism.

    This book takes you on a deep-space expedition into the eerie remains and forgotten wonders of the cosmos. In Galactic Ghosts, we explore the spectral remnants of once-vibrant galaxies—those that flicker faintly in the void or have vanished entirely, leaving only gravitational footprints and dust trails behind. These ghostly presences echo stories of collapse, expansion, and cosmic rebirth. 
    Galactic Mysteries dives into the unexplained phenomena that baffle astronomers: fast radio bursts from unknown sources, wandering black holes, and matter that can’t be seen but shapes everything we know. Here, mystery isn’t just a question—it’s the invitation to uncover truths buried in the silence of space. Each anomaly deepens our understanding of what the universe hides behind its twinkling veil. 
    Echoes of the Cosmos reflects on the residual energy and soundless signals that ripple across galaxies long after the source has died. From microwave background radiation to gravitational waves, the universe keeps a record of its most dramatic moments. These cosmic echoes are not just leftovers—they’re the fingerprints of creation, war, and celestial evolution, still lingering among the stars.
