But we couldnt have been more wrong. Marine scientists now have the technology to record and study the complex interplay of the myriad sounds in the sea. Finally, we can trace how sounds travel with the currents, bounce from the seafloor and surface, bend with the temperature and even saltiness; how sounds help marine life survive; and how human noise can transform entire marine ecosystems.In Sing Like Fish, award-winning science journalist Amorina Kingdon synthesizes historical discoveries with the latest scientific research in a clear and compelling portrait of this sonic undersea world. From plainfin midshipman fish, whose swim-bladder drumming is loud enough to keep houseboat-dwellers awake, to the syntax of whalesong; from the deafening crackle of snapping shrimp, to the seismic resonance of underwater earthquakes and volcanoes; sound plays a vital role in feeding, mating, parenting, navigating, and warningeven in animals that we never suspected of acoustic ability.Meanwhile, we jump in our motorboats and cruise ships, oblivious to the impact below us. Our lifestyle is fueled by oil in growling tankers and furnished by goods that travel in massive container ships. Our seas echo with human-made sound, but we are just learning of the repercussions of anthropogenic noise on the marine worlds delicate acoustic ecosystemsmasking mating calls, chasing animals from their food, and even wounding creatures, from plankton to lobsters.With intimate and artful prose, Sing Like Fish tells a uniquely complete story of ocean animals submerged sounds, envisions a quieter future, and offers a profound new understanding of the world below the surface....2164946Sing Like Fish148164https://www.gandhi.com.mx/sing-like-fish/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1998814/318a34e7-3986-4bb6-95cb-68633c73da70.jpg?v=638345147077970000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20249780593442784_W3siaWQiOiIwZWU5MGZhOS1hNWY4LTRjYzgtOTZjYi0zZjBjMjAyNTQ2NGQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjE2NCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjE2LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE0OCwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDctMjFUMDM6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9780593442784_A captivating exploration of how underwater animals tap into sound to survive, and a clarion call for humans to address the ways we threaten this critical soundscapefrom an award-winning science writerFor centuries humans ignored sound in the silent world of the ocean, assuming where we couldnt perceive a universe, one didnt exist. But we couldnt have been more wrong. Only recently have marine scientists, with the help of sophisticated technology, been able to accurately record and study the complex interplay of the myriad sounds under the sea: how these sounds help marine life to survive, depending on currents, the seafloor, surface, temperature and salinityand how the interference of humans can determine the nature of entire ecosystems.From plainfin midshipman, whose swim-bladder-drumming is loud enough to keep humans awake, to the syntax of sperm whales, to the deafening crack of snapping shrimp, to underwater earthquakes and volcanoes, sound plays a vital role in feeding, mating, parenting, fleeing, and navigating. With new research synthesized by award-winning science journalist Amorina Kingdon, comes a clearer understanding of just how pervasiveand destructivehuman noise is to the life of the sea. We jump in our motorboats and cruise ships, oblivious to the impact below us. Our goods arrive on massive cargo ships, and our way of life is sustained by giant oil tankers. Jets fly into seaside airports, the Navy deploys underwater sonar, and prospectors use seismic imaging to seek oil and gas under ocean floors. Our seas are literally booming with human-made sound, and it is killing sea life to the point of extinction.With intimate and artful prose, Sing Like Fish tells a uniquely complete story of sound submerged, points to quieter solutions, and offers a profound new understanding of the world below the surface....(*_*)9780593442784_A captivating exploration of how underwater animals tap into sound to survive, and a clarion call for humans to address the ways we invade these critical soundscapesfrom an award-winning science writerSing Like Fish is that rare book that makes you see the world differently.Mark Kurlansky, New York Times bestselling author of Salt and CodLONGLISTED FOR THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTIONFor centuries, humans ignored sound in the silent world of the ocean, assuming that what we couldnt perceive, didnt exist.
