Noise Pollution Impact

Yves Earhart

Summary

"Noise Pollution Impact" delivers a groundbreaking examination of how human-generated noise affects both public health and wildlife ecosystems in our modern world. This comprehensive work uniquely weaves together two critical narratives: the documented effects of chronic noise exposure on human health and its disruptive influence on wildlife behavior and communication patterns.

 
Through careful analysis of three decades of epidemiological studies, the book reveals compelling connections between environmental noise and increased rates of cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, and cognitive impairment. The book progresses logically through three main sections, beginning with "The Human Cost," moving through "Ecological Disruption," and concluding with "Solutions and Policy."

 
Drawing from World Health Organization guidelines and recent urban health studies, it presents fascinating findings from 50 global cities, demonstrating how noise interference affects everything from human sleep patterns to wildlife mate selection and territorial defense. The text skillfully balances scientific precision with accessible explanations, making complex acoustic concepts understandable for both environmental professionals and concerned citizens.

 
What sets this work apart is its practical approach to solutions, offering evidence-based strategies at personal, community, and policy levels. The book serves as both a warning about noise pollution's pervasive effects and a roadmap for positive change, providing detailed case studies of successful noise mitigation programs worldwide. By connecting public health, environmental science, and urban planning, it presents a holistic view of noise pollution while maintaining a sharp focus on achievable solutions for this often-overlooked environmental challenge.

The Synesthesia Experience -...

Maureen Seaberg

A violinist sees a scarlet form when he plays a certain note; a rock star sees waves of blue and green as he composes a ballad; an actress tastes cake when she utters the word "table." Described by some as a superpower this mingling of the senses is called "synesthesia," and the people who possess this amazing gift are called "synesthetes." 
 
 
  
What happens when a journalist turns her lens on a mystery happening in her own life? Maureen Seaberg did just that and lived for a year exploring her synesthesia. The wondrous brain trait is often described as blended senses, but for Maureen, synesthesia is not an idle "brain tick" that can be explained away by science (although it does offer some important clues). It is a unique ability to tap into and reveal a greater creative universe and even the divine. 
 
 
 
Join her as she visits top neuroscientists, rock stars, violinists, other synesthetes, philosophers, savants, quantum physicists, and even Tibetan lamas in her journey toward the truth. 
 
 
 
Step into Maureen's shimmering alternate universe as she explores this fascinating subject, combining clear explanations of groundbreaking scientific research with an exploration of deeper understanding of our senses.

This is a summary book, not the original. The content and opinions in this book are the sole responsibility of author and publisher Scott Campbell.
The following description is based on Robert F. Kennedy's best seller, and not the summary audiobook, which is currently, as of December 2021, #1 on AMAZON, and a NEW YORK TIMES, WALL STREET JOURNAL, USA TODAY and PUBLISHERS WEEKLY NATIONAL BESTSELLER
Pharma-funded mainstream media has convinced millions of Americans that Dr. Anthony Fauci is a hero. He is anything but.
As director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Anthony Fauci dispenses $6.1 billion in annual taxpayer-provided funding for scientific research, allowing him to dictate the subject, content, and outcome of scientific health research across the globe. Fauci uses the financial clout at his disposal to wield extraordinary influence over hospitals, universities, journals, and thousands of influential doctors and scientists—whose careers and institutions he has the power to ruin, advance, or reward
During more than a year of painstaking and meticulous research, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. unearthed a shocking story that obliterates media spin on Dr. Fauci . . . and that will alarm every American—Democrat or Republican—who cares about democracy, our Constitution, and the future of our children’s health.
The Real Anthony Fauci reveals how “America’s Doctor” launched his career during the early AIDS crisis by partnering with pharmaceutical companies to sabotage safe and effective off-patent therapeutic treatments for AIDS. Fauci orchestrated fraudulent studies, and then pressured US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulators into approving a deadly chemotherapy treatment he had good reason to know was worthless against AIDS
