SOUND ATLAS (HB)

A guide to strange sounds across landscapes and imagination, this book explores the profound, cultural significance of sounds, blending history, science and personal reflection. Nature writers Michaela Vieser and Isaac Yuen set out in search of sounds beautiful and loathsome, melodious and disturbing, healing, strange and intimate. From the edge of the solar system to the crackle of arctic sea ice, each of these 36 essays explores stories of sound through the lens of history, science and culture, stylishly blending fantastical facts and unique anecdotes to create a compelling narrative.
