Thanks! Unfortunately this particular book is on back order and out of stock. It’s really old. The author who wrote it himself died in 2018. Maybe Indiana U has some copies because he taught there. I can ask my #UMich librarian colleagues

Page one of a short article called Protecting Nature's Song, featuring a yellow-breasted Kirkland warbler. Text: As signs of spring emerge, we join Rackham alumna Alexis Lamb (D.M.A. ’25) in noticing and appreciating the soundscapes of the natural world as pathways to sustainability.
Page two of the article, featuring a photo of Alexis Lamb playing percussion instruments on a log. Text: Lamb is the the founder and artistic director of the Refugia Festival, an annual pay-what-you-can outdoor event in Nichols Arboretum that uses music and artistic expression as tools for environmental conservation and preservation.
Page five of the article, featuring people going on a nature walk. Text: Lamb urges everyone to “go for a walk without headphones—just listen.” The art of slowing down, finding a place to sit and listen for five minutes, jotting down the sounds you hear, and engaging in tactile listening can be calming and help people develop a stronger appreciation of their sonic environments.
Page six of the article, featuring trees in different seasons. Text: “Try listening to nature throughout the year—notice how soundscapes shift over seasons. Listening isn’t just for your ears—it’s for your whole body.”
With birdsong on the springtime breeze, Rackham alum, and Refugia Festival founder Alexis Lamb (D.M.A. ’25) encourages us to slow down and listen to what the natural world has to teach us.

“You have to stand there and watch these numbers inflate and magnify in front of you and really feel it, you know, the money flying out of your possession,” said Scott Rick, professor of marketing.
Oil prices are most greatly affected by OPEC, inventory & geopolitics, but most consumers say gas prices affect their view of the economy. One reason is likely the way gas prices are displayed, on huge, neon signs. #UMich prof @scottianrick.bsky.social via @marketplace.org 🔗: https://myumi.ch/3RAgV

"Even though the U.S. is not directly impacted, in the sense that we are not getting oil and gas from the Strait of Hormuz, oil and gas are globally traded commodities. Prices rise. ... The costs and the risks are distributed throughout, including here for the U.S. consumer," said Jatin Dua, associate professor of anthropology and director of the Oceans Lab
The shipping disruptions at the Strait of Hormuz since the outbreak of the Iran war have led Trump to offer risk insurance to oil tankers near Iran. Jatin Dua, associate professor of anthropology at #UMich and director of the Oceans Lab, discusses on @cbsnews.com.

Lanyo’s quote: “Rackham is the reason why I am here today. I may have been qualified, I may have been admitted, but if I did not have funding for my Ph.D., I wouldn’t be able to come here and do my Ph.D. and change the world in my own small way.

"This is definitely a highly prevalent problem. It's an epidemic in our country," said Anita Shelgikar, clinical professor of neurology
New research shows that teens are getting less sleep than ever before, & screen time isn't necessarily to blame—it could be earlier school start times, too many extracurricular demands, & less parental monitoring. #UMich prof Anita Shelgikar discussed with @npr.org. 🔗 https://myumi.ch/5kgn9
