"Part review, part testament to extraordinary dedication, and part call to get involved, Cetacean Societies highlights the achievements of behavioral ecologists inspired by the challenges of cetaceans and committed to the exploration of a new world."—from the preface by Richard WranghamLong-lived, slow to reproduce, and often hidden beneath the water’s surface, whales and dolphins (cetaceans) have remained elusive subjects for scientific study even though they have fascinated humans for centuries.

Their voices to some tell only of daily duty, of trains to catch, of the return of the hours of toil, of the ceaseless flight of inexorable time to others they speak of devotion, and are as the voice of a mother calling us to her knee for prayer to others again the bells are means of healthful exercise and instruments of heart-stirring music. There is, however, an increasing number of people, who,over and above the feeling of one or more of these interests in the voices of the bells, take an interest also in the bells themselves. To these the belfry has a story to tell, now full of the resour

The American republic will survive only if its citizens are educated--this was an article of faith of its founders. But seeking common civic ground in public schools has never been easy in a society where schoolchildren followed different religions, adhered to different cultural traditions, spoke many languages, and were identified as members of different "races." In this wise and enlightening book, filled with vivid characters and memorable incidents that make history but don’t always make history books, David Tyack describes how each American generation grappled with the knotty task

The hydrological cycle of the Arctic Ocean has intimate and complex linkages to global climate: changes in one affect the other, usually with a feedback. The combined effects of large river runoff, advection of meteoric water, low evaporation rates and distillation by freezing contribute to the formation of a strong halocline in the upper Arctic ocean, which limits thermal communication between the sea ice and the warmer waters of Atlantic origin below. Sea ice and freshened surface waters are transported from the marginal seas by winds and currents, ultimately exiting the Arctic Ocean
