Sinossi

"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.

Thrive - Maximizing Well-Being...

Anindya Ghose, Ravi Bapna

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a powerful general-purpose technology that is reshaping the modern economy, but misperceptions about AI stand in the way of harnessing it for the betterment of humanity. In Thrive, Ravi Bapna and Anindya Ghose counter the backlash by showcasing how AI is positively influencing the aspects of our daily lives that we care about most: our health and wellness, relationships, education, the workplace, and domestic life. In the process the authors help explain the underlying technology and give people the agency they need to shape the debate around how we should regulate AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks. 
 
 
 
Bringing over two decades of experience with cutting-edge research, consulting, executive coaching, and advising to bear on the subject, Bapna and Ghose demystify the technology of AI itself. They offer a novel "House of AI" framework that encompasses traditional analytics, generative AI, and fair and ethical deployment of AI. Using examples from everyday life, they showcase how the modern AI-powered ecosystem fundamentally improves the emotional, physical, and material well-being of regular people across the globe. Thrive's mission is to educate the public about AI, shape realistic expectations, and foster informed discussions about a fast-emerging AI-shaped society.

Everest - The West Ridge

Thomas Hornbein, Jon Krakauer

In 1963, Jim Whittaker became the first American to summit Everest via the South Col route. Roughly two weeks after Whittaker's achievement, Tom Hornbein and Willi Unsoeld, fellow American mountaineers on the same expedition, became the first climbers ever to summit the world's highest peak via the dangerous and forbidding West Ridge—a route on which only a handful of climbers have since succeeded. 
 
 
 
This special fiftieth anniversary edition reintroduces the adventure in a larger format by members of the expedition, including leader Norman G. Dyhrenfurth and team doctor Jim Lester. In addition to a new foreword by Jon Krakauer, this volume also features a new preface by Hornbein along with a series of prefaces he wrote for earlier editions, including the original from 1965.
