Product Information

Martha - Originally Dory's best friend, Martha offends Ella at after-school club by calling her Mum a vegetable. After Ella and her get into a fight, she ends up being Ella's friend. All humans have been doing for the past 70 years developing sonar detection equipment, really, is learning from cetaceans about how they do what they do, and trying to figure out how to use our own sonar systems in a similar way to what they have been doing for millions of years,” he says. Sound travels faster and further in water This book is witty yet full of emotion. It really transports you into Ella's shoes. However, it didn't have as much going on as I would've liked and if you enjoy novels full of thrills with lots going on, this isn't for you." The Longest Whale Song is a children's book by Jacqueline Wilson. It is the successor to Little Darlings, also published in 2010 and the predecessor to Lily Alone, first published in 2011. Baleen whales use this channel not just for communicating with each other, but also for navigating, by listening to the echoes of their calls bouncing off distant ocean shelves and coastlines, creating mental maps of the ocean.

It is really good. Unlike in Harry Potter, lots of different things happen so it doesn't get boring." I quite liked this book, but it was kind of confusing because there are so many things going on! I think Jacqueline Wilson could do a bit better. But I am still her number one fan!"As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children’s Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children’s Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. It's one of the best books I've ever read. It has such a good story line. Jacqueline has told an amazing tale yet again!" I can't wait to get this book, it looks great! I have read the extract from the Jacqueline Wilson magazine so I am already part way into the book!" They accomplish this through an ingenious tactic: making their calls within something called the 'deep sound channel', also known as the SOFAR channel (for Sound Fixing and Ranging channel). Due to the physical properties of the ocean, sound waves diminish in volume rapidly close to the surface, but at varying depths below the surface, depending on latitude, sound waves suffer little transmission loss and increase in the speed at which they travel. The song that travels for miles For us, we have two eyes, which we use to form three dimensional images. But with their acoustic system, we still don’t know how they receive information from objects at different angles. It could be that they use their ears, or it could be that they use their teeth – we still don’t know.”

However, despite these restrictions, scientists have developed a theoretical understanding of how whale noises are formed. We don't know the exact function of the songs at this point. But it could be part of male-male competition, or to attract a mate. Or they could be a multi-message signal ,” says Garland. The Longest Whale Song is a jaw-dropping book. I have just finished reading it today. It has a lot of emotion and I recommend it to everyone, especially Jacqueline Wilson fans! I hope you all get to read it because it's a fabulous book!"Jacqueline is also a great reader, and has amassed over 20,000 books, along with her famous collection of silver rings. After that, his work with the military went “downhill”, he says. “I wanted everything I worked on to be published in the open literature – I didn’t want things to remain classified. I was more concerned about my contribution to science.” Unanswered questions One of the big differences between us and whales is that when we produce sound, air expels from our mouth – we are inhaling and exhaling as we do so. Whereas when whales vocalise, they're doing so underwater in a closed system – they’re moving air around internally .” Will we ever be able to talk to whales? It’s tempting to think that as our understanding of whale vocalisations develop, humans may someday be able to communicate with whales.

As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children's Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children's Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame. After I read a snippet of the book, I thought it was going to be really boring. However, after reading the whole thing, I think it's really good!" To the best of our knowledge, whales make sound by moving air between various sinus cavities in their skull and across something called ‘phonic lips’ or ‘vocal folds’. In this way, it’s not that different from us,” says Fournet.I thought this book was amazing! It's emotional, then funny and then sad! I thought it was one of Jacqueline Wilson's best EVER books."
