NOW HEAR THIS - JOHN NAYLOR KARTONIERT (TB)

This book explains the nature of sound both as a physical phenomenon and as a sensation  how it
travels through air and water  and how the hearing system evolved to convert these vibrations
into sensations. Drawing on physics  biology  neuroscience  philosophy  literature  history 
anecdote  and personal experience  Now Hear This is a wide-ranging exploration of the nature of
sound and hearing that opens up a fascinating world of sounds from the mundane to the unusual
and seeks above all to persuade the reader of the wisdom of John Cage's advice that Wherever we
are what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it  it disturbs us. When we listen to it  we
find it fascinating.
