Sinossi

"Urban Noise Effects" presents a groundbreaking exploration of how modern city soundscapes impact human health and society, revealing that today's urban dwellers routinely experience sound levels that would have been extraordinary in historical contexts.This comprehensive analysis weaves together findings from epidemiology, neuroscience, and environmental psychology to demonstrate how urban noise affects everything from individual mental health to community-wide social behavior. The book progresses through three distinct sections, examining first how various urban sounds influence cognitive and emotional processes, then investigating noise impacts on urban wildlife, and finally exploring the effects on community interaction.Drawing from extensive research across global cities, it presents compelling evidence linking chronic noise exposure to specific health outcomes, including stress disorders and cognitive impairment. Particularly fascinating are the longitudinal studies from European and Asian cities that demonstrate clear correlations between noise levels and mental health outcomes.What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach and practical focus, combining rigorous academic research with accessible explanations and actionable solutions. Rather than simply highlighting problems, the book offers evidence-based strategies for creating healthier urban soundscapes, making it valuable for both professionals and concerned citizens.The incorporation of novel acoustic mapping technologies and citizen science data provides readers with a unique understanding of how urban noise shapes our modern living environments, while offering concrete frameworks for noise assessment and mitigation.

Megalodon The: The History and...

Editors Charles River

As scary as the shark in Jaws is, the extinct megalodon had teeth three times the length of those found within the jaws of a great white shark, so a human would only have been a small snack. In fact, the megalodon was capable of swallowing a small car. Known to scientists as Otodus megalodon or Carcharocles megalodon (otodus meaning “tooth shaped like an ear”; carcharocles meaning “well known for jaggedness”; and megalodon meaning “big tooth”), this predator lived approximately 23–3.6 million years ago), from the early Miocene Epoch to the early Pliocene Epoch. The genus name Otodus and the family name Otodontidae are now the most commonly used, but scientific literature remains full of the older designation, and many of the shark experts regard the new family designation as flawed.  
	For many years, megalodon was thought to be more closely related to the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias), and though both are still part of the order Lamniformes, the two species now reside in different families: Lamnidae and Otodontidae (megalodon). Either way, while great white sharks can reach sizes of 20 feet long and nearly 2.5 tons in weight, the average megalodon was twice as big, and some of them may have been about three times as big. The sheer size allowed it to target prey as big as whales, and the massive jaw allowed it to simply tear through any kind of body with no regard for the prey’s most vulnerable spots.  
	While all of that seems to be beyond dispute, almost everything else about the history of the megalodon is up for debate, from its origins to its extinction.  The Megalodon: The History and Legacy of the World’s Largest Prehistoric Predator covers that expansive history in detail, from what is known to what remains most mysterious.
