The book explores how natural soundscapesfrom the hushed winter forests of Scandinavia to the cacophonous Amazon rainforestshape ecosystems, influence animal behavior, and deepen human connection to nature. By blending bioacoustics research with vivid storytelling, it reveals startling insights: elephants communicate through infrasound imperceptible to humans, while tropical frogs synchronize calls to avoid acoustic chaos.These soundscapes, the authors argue, are not passive backdrops but dynamic systems where silence can signal biodiversity loss, and noise pollution disrupts critical interactions like predator warnings or mating rituals. The books strength lies in its interdisciplinary approach, weaving ecology, marine biology, and psychology to show how human-generated noisefrom shipping to urban sprawlalters habitats irreversibly.Chapters progress from analyzing animal adaptations in contrasting environments to documenting noises cascading effects, such as whales struggling to navigate amid sonar interference. Unique historical recordings of vanished ecosystems underscore the urgency of acoustic conservation. Unlike typical noise pollution studies, Quiet or Loud juxtaposes extremes, illustrating universal principles through examples like Chernobyls post-disaster silence or insects sonic mimicry.Accessible yet rigorous, it balances fieldwork with actionable solutions, making a compelling case that preserving soundscapes is key to safeguarding biodiversityand redefining stewardship as an act of listening....6929320Quiet or Loud9494https://www.gandhi.com.mx/quiet-or-loud-9788233955335/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6851402/image.jpg?v=638748146229370000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259788233955335_W3siaWQiOiI2MWNkYzhiYi1lOTJjLTQyYzgtOTQ5OS0yYmMxMDk1MjY2YmUiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjk0LCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo5NCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6IklwcCIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDItMDRUMTI6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9788233955335_Quiet or Loud: The Hidden Language of Natural Soundscapes unveils the profound ecological and cultural significance of Earths auditory environments, framing sound as a vital indicator of environmental health.
