This is a book and CD combination featuring 33 of the most exotic and fascinating sounds you will ever hear. Together with a thought-provoking essay on listening, it will take you on a remarkable journey that begins with the rhythms of women drumming their hands on a river in Zaire and ends with the hissing, 15-billion-year-old echo of the 'big bang' that created the cosmos. Along with lots of photographs, you will hear infrasonic elephant communication, mysterious choruses of bearded seals under the Arctic ice, unearthly signals from Jupiter, haunting voices of Siberian shamans, the astonishing 'booming' of desert dunes as grains of sand cascade downhill, and much more., ISBN13: B000UFMR74 ISBN10: B000UFMR74 Material Type: hardcover
