Reviews

"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, on Voices of the Wild -- Alan Weisman "Here's a handbook and philosophical guide for anyone, young or old, who wishes to open their senses to an often forgotten dimension of the reality around us: the sounds of the natural world-the sounds that are more than audio vibrations, but doorways into other worlds."-Richard Louv, author of Vitamin N, Last Child in the Woods, and The Nature Principle -- Richard Louv "Part fascinating meditation on sound, part essential manual, Bernie Krause's Wild Soundscapes is the veritable bible for how to record nature's fleeting song-not just technically, but reverently."-Alan Weisman, author of Countdown and The World Without Us -- Alan Weisman
