Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
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 awardwinning science writerFor centuries, humans ignored sound in the silent world of the ocean, assuming that what we couldnt perceive, didnt exist. 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, awardwinning 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 swimbladder drumming is loud enough to keep houseboatdwellers 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 humanmade 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.
