Beschreibung

"Sounds Around" explores the fascinating world of sound, focusing on its physics, biological perception, and vital role in animal communication. It unveils how vibrations become sound waves, influencing survival and interaction across species. Did you know that sound is critical for many animals to detect danger, find mates, or navigate their environments? The book emphasizes that sound is a powerful tool for animals, essential for both basic survival and complex social interactions.

 
The book begins by explaining the fundamental properties of sound, such as frequency and amplitude, and how hearing mechanisms across species detect these vibrations. It highlights evolutionary adaptations that enhance sound detection and interpretation. The book's unique value lies in its interdisciplinary approach, connecting physics, biology, and animal behavior to reveal the delicate balance within ecosystems.

 
Progressing chapter by chapter, "Sounds Around" first builds foundational knowledge of sound physics and hearing anatomy. Subsequent sections detail how animals use sound for mating, predator warnings, and navigation, incorporating case studies and research from physiology, ecology, and zoology. The book culminates with a discussion on noise pollution's impact on animal communication and the practical applications of bioacoustics in conservation and technology.

Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior -...

David Hone

Our understanding of dinosaur behavior has long been hampered by the inevitable lack of evidence from animals that went extinct more than sixty-five million years ago. Today, with the discovery of new specimens and the development of new and cutting-edge techniques, paleontologists are making major advances in reconstructing how dinosaurs lived and acted. Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior provides an unparalleled look at this emerging field of science, presenting the latest findings on dinosaur behavior and explaining how researchers interpret the often minimal and even conflicting information available to them. 
 
 
 
David Hone begins by introducing listeners to the fundamentals of dinosaur biology, diversity, and evolution, and goes on to describe their behaviors, from feeding and communication to reproduction, sociality, and combat. Speculation about dinosaur behavior goes back to the earliest scientific studies of these "terrible lizards." Hone traces how pioneering science is opening a window into prehistoric life as never before, and discusses future directions of research in this thrilling and rapidly growing area of paleontology. 
 
 
 
Written by one of the world's leading dinosaur experts, Uncovering Dinosaur Behavior is a foundational work on the subject and an invaluable reference for anyone interested in these amazing creatures.

Running After Paradise - Hope...

Colleen M. Scanlan Lyons

Brazil’s Atlantic Forest is a paradise to many. In Southern Bahia, surfers, billionaires, travelers, and hippies mingle with environmentalists, family farmers, quilombolas (descendants of formerly enslaved people), and nativos, or “locals.” Each of these groups has connections to the unique environment, culture, and character of this region as their home, their source of a livelihood, or perhaps their vacation escape. And while these connections sometimes converge, at other times they clash.
The pressures on this tropical forest are palpable, and people’s responses to these pressures are also varied. What was once the state’s economic mainstay, cacao production, is only now beginning to make a comeback after a disease decimated the crops of large and small farmers alike. Tourism, another economic hope, is susceptible to economic crises and pandemics. And the threat of a massive state-led infrastructure project involving mining, a railroad, and an international port has loomed over the region for well over a decade.
Southern Bahia is at a crossroads: develop a sustainable, forest-based economy or risk losing the identity and soul of this place forevermore. Through the lives of environmentalists, farmers, quilombolas, and nativos—people who are in and of this place—this book brings the people alive who are grappling with this dilemma.
Anthropologist Colleen M. Scanlan Lyons brings the eye of a storyteller to present this complex struggle, weaving in her own challenges of balancing family and fieldwork alongside the stories of the people who live in this dynamic region. Intertwined tales, friendships, and hope emerge as people both struggle to sustain their lives in a biodiversity hotspot and strive to create their paradise.
For those interested, this book is also available in e-book and physical print formats, which contain the table of contents, maps, acknowledgements, pictures of the people and stories featured, footnotes, references, and an index.
