|  | Did You Hear That? by Caroline Arnold, Cathy Trachok
Visit the fascinating world of animals that create and hear sounds either too high or too low for human ears. Without these abilities, they wouldn't be able to communicate, hunt, or avoid being hunted....Small rodents call to one another with ultra-high sounds, too high and faint for the animals that hunt them to hear. Some insects that can hear ultra-high sounds dodge out of the way when they detect that a bat is near. In the sea, sharks can locate fish by listening for the low sounds made by their splashing. And humpback whales talk with each other across miles of ocean with sounds too low for us to hear. AUTHOR: Caroline Arnold, Cathy Trachok

 | The New Science of Strong Materials or Why You Don't Fall Through the Floor by J. E. Gordon
J. E. Gordon I was thoroughly charmed and won over by this book which I now recommend to all my colleagues. --Daniel C. Mattis, American Journal of Physics Princeton has brought to the public a highly readable treatise on the science of materials that emphasizes the strength of chemical and physical bonds, crystal structure, and cracks. . . . The author admits the necessity of being highly selective in the materials he can discuss so broadly, but he ably presents chemical and physical problems and how they have been solved in an orderly fashion, and he shows that the strength of materials is influenced as much by their environment and loading systems as by their own structures and shapes. --S. W. Dobyns, Science Books and Films AUTHOR: J. E. Gordon
