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.

Every Last Fish - A Deep Dive...

Rose George

Slippery, wet, and strange: Fish can be easier to think of as food than as fellow animals. But what do we know about these creatures we meet on our dinner table and how they got there? But with warming oceans, diminishing fish stocks, and questions about fish farming practices, where will the fish come from? 
 
In Every Last Fish, Rose George dives into these questions by exploring the vast industries that support our appetite for fish sticks and salmon burgers, and the colossal illegal fishing trade whose practices and standards are unmonitored and often dangerous. Journeying to the bottom of the ocean and back, she examines the machinations of this $200 billion food system―one that's growing rapidly even as fish populations disappear. 
 
Along the way, George introduces us to the people on the front lines of fishes and fishing: fishermen, divers, marine biologists, fish fryers, and fishwives. Her journey ends at the fish counter, with guidance for listeners looking to make better choices, both for the ocean's health and their own. 
 
Ranging from Alaska to the United Kingdom to Senegal and beyond, Every Last Fish is an unforgettable trip through the ocean's inhabitants and workers.
