Why Whales Sing
Reconceives whale songs as a sophisticated sonar system, revealing incredible insights into these creatures'' intelligence and behavior.With breathtaking complexity and haunting beauty, the songs of whales have long fascinated scientists. Whales are the only mammals that sing continuously for ten hours or more, and they do so loudly, even when no listeners are nearby. They also change the songs they sing every year. In Why Whales Sing, bioacoustician and cognitive scientist Eduardo Mercado transforms our understanding of these enigmatic sounds and proposes a groundbreaking theory that challenges decades of established science. Fifty years of field research have led most scientists to conclude that humpback whales sing for the same reason that birds do: to advertise their sexual fitness. But if whale songs are nothing more than tools of attraction, why do whales sing even when they''re alone? In light of modern advances in neuroscience and ocean acoustics, Mercado reaches the surprising conclusion that whales may not actually be "singing," but rather engaging in an activity more commonly associated with dolphins and bats—echolocating—which enables them to see their world with sound. By incessantly streaming sounds while listening closely to the returning echoes, whales may be actively tuning their brains in ways that allow them to monitor the movements of silent whales located miles away.Sophisticated, long-range sonar can enable whales to perceive their vast underwater worlds in unimaginable ways. From the military origins of whale song recordings to the persistent mysteries of cetacean communication, this book displays the wonder of whales and reshapes how we view their intelligence, behavior, and acoustic mastery.
Horses
From one of today’s leading experts on ancient DNA, a sweeping genetic history that unravels the mystery of where horses were first domesticatedLudovic Orlando garnered world acclaim for helping to rewrite the genomic history of horse domestication. Horses takes you behind the scenes of this ambitious genealogical investigation, revealing how he and an international team of scientists discovered the elusive origins of modern horses. Along the way, he shows how the domestication of the horse changed the trajectory of civilization—with benefits and unforeseen consequences for the animals themselves. Orlando brought together world-class experts in genomics, archaeology, and the history of peoples, languages, and migrations. Comparing the DNA of ancient horses to the genomes of dozens of modern horse breeds, these researchers reconstructed millennia of equine evolutionary history. They now believe that horses were first domesticated some 4,200 years ago on the steppes of the North Caucasus. Orlando discusses how selective breeding has significantly intensified over the past two centuries, giving rise to faster, stronger horses but also creating a severe decline in genetic diversity that has made horses more prone to genetic diseases. He looks at breeds throughout history and around the world, explaining how they have been bred for particular purposes or environments, from Botai and Przewalski’s horses to the warhorses of the Vikings and Genghis Khan, Arabian horses, thoroughbreds, Himalayan steeds, and mules. Blending panoramic storytelling with cutting-edge genetic science, Horses chronicles an unbreakable bond that was forged thousands of years ago on the windswept Eurasian Steppe, one that heralded a bold new era in the human drama—that of speed.
Following the Bend
An engaging and thought-provoking introduction to river scienceWhen we look at a river, either up close or while flying over a river valley, what are we really seeing? Following the Bend takes readers on a majestic journey by water to find answers, along the way shedding light on the key concepts of modern river science, from hydrology and water chemistry to stream and wetland ecology.In this accessible and uniquely personal book, Ellen Wohl explains how to “read” a river, blending the latest science with her own personal experiences as a geologist and naturalist who has worked on rivers for more than three decades. She charts how water travels through the hydrologic cycle around the globe and downstream to distribute energy, move sediment, and shape river channels, and how living organisms adapt to life in flowing water to create vibrant river ecosystems. Wohl looks at the role of disturbances such as floods and droughts and discusses how geologists interpret the sedimentary records of past river processes. She illustrates how river networks interact with Earth’s surface and considers issues for rivers in the future, such as progressive drying, river restoration, and advocating for the legal personhood of a river to maintain its distinctive spirit, identity, and integrity.Sharing a new understanding of how rivers function as both physical systems and ecosystems, Following the Bend enables us to observe rivers with fresh eyes and more fully appreciate the beauty, vibrancy, and complexity of our planet’s vital waterways.

Masters of the Game
Sam Smith and Phil Jackson grew to know and respect each other in the late 1980s, when Smith was a Chicago Tribune sportswriter and Jackson was an assistant coach for the Chicago Bulls. Forty years later, the two remain close friends. In 2021, Smith helped the NBA arrive at a list of the seventy-five greatest players of all time in celebration of its seventy-fifth anniversary. Phil Jackson was asked to participate too, but he''s not a big fan of ranking greatness. They''ve been enjoying the argument ever since. In Masters of the Game, Smith and Jackson chop it up about the basketball life, the sport, and the genius and the shadow side of the all-time greats: Jordan, Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Bill Russell, Wilt, Jerry West, Bird, LeBron, KD, Steph Curry, Bill Walton, and more. In a conversation full of high-grade analysis and high-grade gossip, we meet the stars of long-ago eras of basketball and see the mark race left on players and the business of the game-and we get a master class on character and the alchemy of a good team. And of course, inevitably, these two old heads get into the GOAT debate. There are so many huge characters here, and Smith and Jackson can hold their own with any of them. Their spirit-sharp, wise, irreverent, honest, respectful of the lore and legacy of the game but never pious-and the clash of their different perspectives combine to make this book a joyous ride, a short course in greatness open to all students.
We Breed Lions
The allegations read like a scene out of a horror movie. Five National Hockey League players, all of them 18-year-old Canada World Juniors at the time, are alleged to have sexually assaulted a young woman in a London, ON hotel room in June 2018 over several hours. When the players learned that the alleged victim had reported the incident to the police, they allegedly threatened her to drop the complaint. Hockey Canada kept the details of the case out of the spotlight and came to a confidential financial settlement with the plaintiff, paid out of a secret slush fund worth millions of dollars that the organisation kept on hand to settle such complaints quietly. On May 26, 2022, TSN investigative reporter Rick Westhead broke the story surrounding the Team Canada junior players and Hockey Canada''s handling of the case, immediately sending shock waves throughout all levels of the hockey world. Once the story went live on the TSN website, Westhead''s inbox on X filled with messages from people who wanted to share their personal stories on how they had been impacted by hockey''s toxic culture. In We Breed Lions, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Rick Westhead does a deep-dive into the state of hockey in Canada today. He gives voice to those who have been sexually assaulted by hockey players, revealing the struggles they''ve had with local police officials in their efforts to seek justice. He also goes inside the dressing room to find out how attitudes of misogyny and homophobia continue to flourish, and speaks to former players who were forced to perform degrading acts of initiation in order to join the team. Looming large in Westhead''s extraordinary reporting are the gatekeepers of the game-league officials, team owners and members of the sport''s governing bodies-who are reluctant to impose change from the outside and willing to sacrifice the well-being of their players and the community for profit. Westhead offers hope for hockey''s future, profiling those individuals and organisations who are committed to educating players around issues of consent, putting an end to hazing and redefining what it means to be a man on and off the ice. Featuring a Foreword by bestselling author Stephen Brunt, We Breed Lions will surely generate an enormous amount of debate and discussion among parents, players and all of those who love the game of hockey and want to see it get to a better place.

Futball-VB-könyv
"Vannak, akik azt hiszik, a futball olyannyira fontos, hogy úgyszólván élet-halál kérdése. Mindig elszomorít, ha ilyen véleményt hallok. Biztosíthatok mindenkit: a futball sokkal, de sokkal fontosabb."
Bill Shankly ikonikus Liverpool-menedzser mondatai elsőre talán túlzásnak tűnhetnek. De ha valami, akkor a férfi labdarúgó-világbajnokság kevesebb mint százéves története azt bizonyítja, hogy a skót szakember szavaiban van igazság.
Erről mi, magyarok is tudunk mesélni. Sok történész egyetért abban: ahogyan "a berni csoda", az Aranycsapat váratlan legyőzése visszaadta az NSZK identitását a világháborús sokk, a mérhetetlen bűnök ellenére, úgy Magyarországon a vereség hozzájárult egy sötét korszakban érlelődő társadalmi kiábrándulási folyamathoz.
A világbajnokság biztosan több mint szimpla sportesemény. Érinti azonosságunkat, hiszen a siker növeli nemzeti büszkeségünket. De érinti érzelmeinket is. Várakozás, remény, eufória, gyász, nosztalgia: a futball könyörtelen, sokszor igazságtalan érzelmi hullámvasút.
Nem utolsósorban: a világbajnokság fantasztikus közösségi élmény. A közös meccsnézéseken és "kanapészakértések" során szerzett emberi kapcsolatok, az arénákban átélt együttes ünneplés vagy boldogtalanság mind erősíti a társadalmi összetartozást.
Az események súlyát részben az adja, hogy a futball-vb-t csak négyévente rendezik, így a rendszer némileg cáfolja a churchilli igazságot: a győzelem itt végleges, a vereség pedig igenis végzetes. Az is emeli a tétet, hogy a sportág legnagyobbjainak egy része nem vált világbajnokká. Az ő kudarcuk is hozzájárult a siker súlyához. Nélkülözhetetlen eleme Pelé, Beckenbauer, Maradona, Zidane, a brazil Ronaldo és Messi karrierjének megítélésében a vb-trófea elhódítása, viszont Puskásnak, Cruyffnak, Zicónak vagy Cristiano Ronaldónak nem adatott meg e meghatározó élmény, pedig ugyanazt a minőséget képviselték, mint a felsorolt győztesek.
E könyv most mindannyiuknak méltó emléket állít; azoknak a kiváló sportembereknek, akik mindent megtettek azért, hogy ezek a tornák örökké felejthetetlenek legyenek. Meg azoknak a rendkívüli pillanatoknak, amelyekről minden futballszurkolónak tudnia kell. S ki is írhatná meg hitelesebben a labdarúgó-világbajnokságok hazai krónikáját, mint Hegyi Iván, aki 1986 óta szinte minden tornát a helyszínről közvetített. Hegyi Iván több mint negyven éve a magyar sportújságírás meghatározó alakja, aki a sportág iránti töretlen lelkesedésével, egyedi humorával és szakértelmével teszi ezt a kiadványt olyanná, hogy egyetlen, a futballt szenvedélyesen szerető embernek sem hiányozhat a polcáról.
