This is an Open Access Book. 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 150 contributions from leading researchers, the sources of underwater sound and their effects are discussed in detail.

What are the ethical demands that histories of atrocity place on us, even if we did not participate in them?

Wounds of Silence melds survivor testimony, history, and personal reflection with a wealth of illustrations and psychological insights. The book is fundamentally cross-disciplinary and deals with the following areas: memory studies, genocide studies, trauma studies, Holocaust studies, psychosocial studies, and psychoanalysis.
