Book Description
Every coordination within or between animals depends on communication processes. Although the signaling molecules, vocal and tactile signs, gestures and its combinations differ throughout all species according their evolutionary origins and variety of adaptation processes, certain levels of biocommunication can be found in all animal species: (a) Abiotic environmental indices such as temperature, light, water, etc. that affect the local ecosphere of an organism and are sensed, interpreted. (b) Trans-specific communication with non-related organisms. (c) Species-specific communication between same or related species. (d) Intraorganismic communication, i.e., sign-mediated coordination within the body of the organism. This book gives an overview of the manifold levels of animal communication exemplified by a variety of species and thereby broadens the understanding of these organisms.

Book Description
Neuroendocrine Regulation of Animal Vocalization: Mechanisms and Anthropogenic Factors in Animal Communication examines the underpinning neuroendocrine (NE) mechanisms that drive animal communication across taxa. Written by international subject experts, the book focuses on the importance of animal communication in survival and reproduction at an individual and species level, and the impact that increased production and accumulation of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can have on these regulatory processes. This book discusses sound production, perception, processing, and response across a range of animals. This includes insects, fish, bats, birds, nonhuman primates, infant humans, and many others. Some chapters analyze how neuroactive substances, endocrine control, and chemical pollution affect the physiology of the animal's perceptive and sound-producing organs, as well as their auditory and vocal receptors and pathways. Other chapters address the recent approaches governments have taken to protect against the endocrine disruption of animal (vocal) behaviors. The book is a valuable resource for researchers and advanced students seeking first-rate material on neuroendocrinological effects on animal behavior and communication. - Serves as the most comprehensive cross-taxa study of its kind, revolutionary in its focus on the impacts of EDCs on the processes guiding animal communication - Emphasizes the importance of production, perception and processing of acoustic vocalization for survival - Analyzes recent governmental policies and protections against the effects of EDCs on humans and wildlife

Book Description
In recent times, many people have come to realize that this world is approaching its end. Most believe that GOD is in control of how it will end, and they are right! Not only is GOD in control, He has a Master Endtime Plan for this earth and its peoples. Moreover, in His Holy Word, the Bible, GOD has described His plan; He has described it very clearly and in great detail. This book desribes the entire Endtime Scenario, making it so simple anyone can understand it. It reviews the scriptures that describe each major Endtime happening and other scriptures that explicitly define the chronological sequence for those happenings. It identifies several calendar timelines within the scriptures that measure the precise times between various Endtime happenings. To give confidence in its conclusions, it identifies four separate sets of Scriptures that clearly define the sequence for the events that will lead to CHRIST'S return and the Christian Rapture/Ressurection. Everyone, even those who are not familiar with either the Bible or the Christian theology, should easily understand this book. They will understand the entire Endtime Scenario that JESUS CHRIST foretold, the major happenings that will take place, the sequence in which they will happen, and the specific scriptures that describe all these things. Moreover, they will understand how all of these things relate to GOD'S Covenants and His labors of the past 6000 years. They will see that all of the Endtime happenings are just the grand finale of those labors. Most importantly, each reader will not only allow what is going to happen in the Endtimes, he or she will know how they can control their own eternal destiny.
