In “The Sixth Extinction,” Elizabeth Kolbert tells us why and how human beings have altered life on the planet in a way no species has before.
Interweaving research in half a dozen disciplines and the history of extinction as a concept, Kolbert provides a comprehensive account of the disappearances occurring before our very eyes, compelling us to rethink the fundamental question of what it means to be human.
What is the meaning of a bird’s song, a baboon’s bark, an owl’s hoot, or a dolphin’s clicks? In “The Voices of Nature,” Nicolas Mathevon explores the mysteries of animal sound.
Putting readers in the middle of animal soundscapes that range from the steamy heat of the Amazon jungle to the icy terrain of the Arctic, Mathevon reveals the amazing variety of animal vocalizations.
He describes how animals use sound to express emotion, to choose a mate, to trick others, to mark their territory, to call for help, and much more.
