Cox reminds us not only of the sonic marvels we often miss, but also how those sounds affect us.
This small encyclopedia of strange sounds reveals how much art there is in the act of listening. Reading it made my ears more mindful.--Adam Gopnik
A riveting ear-opener, Trevor Cox describes in lyrical detail a range of sonic events and new ways of listening that can only brighten our experience of the acoustic world around us. A must-read for sound-lovers of all stripes.--Bernie Krause, author of The Great Animal Orchestra: Finding the Origins of Music in the World's Wild Places
