Description

301 pages including index and reference notes. A pioneering exploration into the past history and present state of the most neglected aspect of our environment: the SOUNDSCAPE, a term coined by the author. The soundscape is our sonic environment, the ever-present array of noises, pleasant and unpleasant, loud and soft, heard or ignored, that we all live with. From the murmur of bees to the blast of an explosion, this vast, ever-changing compendium of bird-song, jackhammers, chamber music, screams, train whistles and rain has been a part of human existence since the beginning of time. Dust jacket is price-clipped and shows light to moderate wear with a quarter inch tear to bottom edge of back panel. Book clean and unmarked with light bumping and mild warp to front board. Nice copy. Book
