About This Item
San Diego: Academic Press, 1995. First Edition. Softcover (23 x 15cm), pp. 576; blue and white wraps; lettering in navy; photo of a whale's tail on front cover; illustrated with graphs and tables throughout.
Shallow dimple to the top edge of the rear wrap; top edge of text block is a little dust toned with a 25mm blue horizontal line across it; small spot on the fore edge, bottom edge gently scuffed; mild toning to back cover; light horizontal rippling (maximum of 25mm of damage) in the centre of the top margins on pp. 323-380, otherwise clean and bright throughout. Marine Mammals and Noise discusses, among many other topics, just how well marine mammals hear, how noisy the oceans have become, and what effects these new sounds have on marine mammals. The baseline of ambient noise, the sounds produced by machines and mammals, the sensitivity of marine mammal's hearing, and the reactions of marine mammals are also examined.
