The Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life
In this landmark new work, the major authorities in the field from around the world present a wealth of research data, coverage of regulatory issues, and thinking about the effects of man-made noise on marine mammals, turtles, amphibians, fishes, and invertebrates. The various themes of the book were chosen to cover the wide range of basic and cutting edge information on this topic. They include the hearing abilities of aquatic animals; communication by means of underwater sound; the description of aquatic soundscapes; different sound sources and their characteristics; the effects of sound on behavior; and assessing, mitigating, and monitoring the effects of aquatic noise. Emphasis is on the cross-fertilization of ideas and findings across species and noise sources. With over 140 contributions from leading researchers, the sources of underwater sound and their effects are discussed in detail.
Leonardo Da Vinci
"An examination of the modern cultural mythology of Leonardo da Vinci that sheds light on the intersections of the academy, the commercial art world, and ideas about attribution and authorship"--
The Da Vinci Globe
A chance discovery at a distinguished London map fair in 2012 by a Belgian globe collector produced the most unique of finds: a distinct globe with mysterious images, such as old ships, sailors, a volcano, a hybrid monster, pentimenti, waving patterns, conic individualised mountains, curving rivers, vigorous coastal lines, chiaroscuro and an unresolved triangular anagram, which remains an enigma. The globe is hand-engraved in great detail on ostrich egg shells from Pavia by a left-handed Renaissance genius of unquestionable quality. It shows secret knowledge of the map world from the time of Columbus, Cabral, Amerigo Vespucci and Leonardo da Vinci. Central and North America are covered by a ...
The Routledge Companion to Diasporic Jazz Studies
The Routledge Companion to Diasporic Jazz Studies recognizes the proliferation of jazz as global music in the 21st century. It illustrates the multi-vocality of contemporary jazz studies, combining local narratives, global histories, and cultural criticism. It rests on the argument that diasporic jazz is not a passive, second-hand reflection of music originating in the US, but possesses its own integrity, vitality, and distinctive range of identities.

Música popular chilena de autor
En el volumen final de una larga historia de la música popular chilena del siglo XX, Juan Pablo González termina como solista un proyecto iniciado como dúo y luego como trío. Se trata de un solista con acompañamiento, pues suma a un octeto de profesionales con los que aborda la canción de autor como producto intermedial, enfocándose en treinta bandas chilenas activas en la década del noventa. Al mismo tiempo, el libro detalla el fortalecimiento de la industria discográfica y de la música en vivo en el país luego de que Santiago se sumara a Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo y Río de Janeiro en el circuito sudamericano de las grandes bandas y solistas de fines de siglo. Es así como se intensificaba el contacto de Chile con el mundo mientras se diversificaban los referentes de identidad para un público ávido de nuevas propuestas sonoras.
Ácido
La autobiografía del personaje más ácido de la televisión, Quique Jiménez. Sincera, llena de humor y repleta de anécdotas. « Sinceramente, la descripción de payaso, del italiano pagliaccio , me viene como sortija al dedo. Es un personaje estereotípico representado comúnmente con vestimentas extravagantes, maquillaje abundante y filamentos capilares llamativos, cuya función es hacer reír a la gente, gastar bromas, un actor satírico que se burla de la cotidianidad con el que adorno mi cuerpo. No importa si usas o no nariz roja, lo sustancial es sihay verdad en tu profesión, y esa os aseguro que la hay, a pesar de que, en ocasiones, la risa y la nostalgia habitan juntas en mí. Cuando las luces brillan sobre ti, debes volverte más grande que la vida, pero después necesitas regresar a la normalidad para ser feliz. Torito en ocasiones tiene tanta fuerza, que cuando me despojo de él me quedo desprovisto de energía y preciso recuperarme en la soledad de mi más valioso bien, mi intimidad.» Quique Jiménez
