Reviews
"Bernie Krause is a hero to many of us. In a deafened world, he hears, records and explains the parallel universes around us. In Voices of the Wild , he delves deeper into soundscape ecology, into philosophy and spirit, and the use of technology as way to open passageways into those universes. Voices of the Wild is fascinating, urgent, filled with sound and fury and beauty."--Richard Louv, author of The Nature Principle and Last Child in the Woods, "Bernie Krause shares his delight in the sounds of the natural world and makes an impassioned case for the importance of such acoustics."-- Shelf Awareness, "Bernie Krause hears things the rest of us don't even realize we're missing. But if we listen carefully, starting with him, we just might resurrect some sweet sounds we've lost."--Alan Weisman, author of  Countdown  and  The World Without Us, "Bernie Krause hears things the rest of us don't even realize we're missing. But if we listen carefully, starting with him, we just might resurrect some sweet sounds we've lost."--Alan Weisman, author of Countdown and The World Without Us
Synopsis
A pioneer in the field of soundscape ecology explores the ways in which the voice of the natural world informs many subjects Since 1968, Bernie Krause has traveled the world recording the sounds of remote landscapes, endangered habitats, and rare animal species. Through his organization, Wild Sanctuary, he has collected the soundscapes of more than 2,000 different habitat types, marine and terrestrial. With powerful illustrations and compelling stories, Krause provides a manifesto for the appreciation and protection of natural soundscapes. In his previous book, The Great Animal Orchestra, Krause drew readers' attention to what Jane Goodall described as "the harmonies of nature . . . [that are being] one by one by one, snuffed out by human actions." He now explains that the secrets hidden in the natural world's shrinking sonic environment must be preserved, not only for our scientific understanding, but for our cultural heritage and humanity's physical and spiritual welfare. Krause's narrative--supplemented by exclusive access to field recordings from the wild--draws on a compelling range of personal anecdotes, histories, and examples to document his early exploration of this field and to lay the groundwork for future generations., A pioneer in the field of soundscape ecology explores the ways in which the voice of the natural world informs many subjects, A pioneer in the field of soundscape ecology explores the ways in which the voice of the natural world informs many subjects Since 1968, Bernie Krause has traveled the world recording the sounds of remote landscapes, endangered habitats, and rare animal species.
