Sinopsis

"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.

The Life and Death of Ryan White...

Paul M. Renfro

In the 1980s, as HIV/AIDS ravaged queer communities and communities of color in the United States and beyond, a straight white teenager named Ryan White emerged as the face of the epidemic. Diagnosed with hemophilia at birth, Ryan contracted HIV through contaminated blood products. In 1985, he became a household name after he was barred from attending his Indiana middle school. As Ryan appeared on nightly news broadcasts and graced the covers of popular magazines, he was embraced by music icons and well-known athletes, achieving a curious kind of stardom. Analyzing his struggle and celebrity, Paul M. Renfro's powerful biography grapples with the contested meanings of Ryan's life, death, and afterlives. 
 
 
 
As Renfro argues, Ryan's fight to attend school forced the American public to reckon with prevailing misconceptions about the AIDS epidemic. Yet his story also reinforced the hierarchies at the heart of the AIDS crisis. Because the "innocent" Ryan had contracted HIV "through no fault of his own," as many put it, his story was sometimes used to blame presumably "guilty" populations for spreading the virus. Reexamining Ryan's story through this lens, Renfro reveals how the consequences of this stigma continue to pervade policy and cultural understandings of HIV/AIDS today.

Pass the respirator fit test...

Adrian Moscoso

This audiobook is a study guide to prepare for the Respirator Fit Test CNC method exam. It presents more than hundred questions and answers relating to human respiratory system and defence mechanisms, health effects of airborne contaminants, respiratory hazards in the workplace, general respiratory fit testing and respiratory selection requirements, and a sample script to prepare for the submission of a video demonstrating respiratory fit testing by the CNC (Condensation Nuclei Counter) method. 
Respirator fit testing is a process used to determine whether a particular respiratory protective equipment (RPE) fits an individual properly and provides an adequate seal to protect against hazardous substances. Fit testing is required for tight-fitting respirators, from disposable filtering facepieces to reusable full-face respirators, including some respirators that typically operate in positive pressure mode. 
There are several methods that can be used for respirator fit testing, including the CNC (Condensation Nuclei Counter) method. The CNC method involves measuring the particulate concentration inside the respirator while the user is wearing it and performing a series of exercises or movements to simulate the physical demands of the job. If the ratio between the air concentration inside the respirator and outside of the respirator meets the respiratory protection standard it is considered to have a good fit. 
To prepare for the RESP-FIT CNC method exam, this book provides the listener the principles and procedures of respirator fit testing, including the CNC method. This includes excerpts from Australian and International Standards and guidelines and learning about the various types of RPE and their specific fit testing requirements. The listener should also become familiar with the equipment and procedures used in fit testing, as well as the potential risks and limitations of the CNC method.
