The scratch, hiss, and pop of a vinyl record. The first glug of wine as it is poured from a bottle. These are just a few of writer Caspar Henderson's favorite sounds. In \u003ci\u003eA Book of Noises\u003c\/i\u003e, Henderson invites readers to use their ears a little better--to tune in to the world in all its surprising noisiness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Describing sounds from around the natural and human world, the forty-eight essays that make up \u003ci\u003eA Book of Noises\u003c\/i\u003e are a celebration of all things \"auraculous.\" Henderson calls on his characteristic curiosity to explore sounds related to humans (anthropophony), other life (biophony), the planet (geophony), and space (cosmophony). Henderson finds the beauty in everyday sounds, like the ringing of a bell, the buzz of a bee, or the \"earworm\" songs that get stuck in our heads. \u003ci\u003eA Book of Noises\u003c\/i\u003e also explores the marvelous, miraculous sounds we may never get the chance to hear, like the deep boom of a volcano or the quiet, rustling sound of the Northern Lights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Book of Noises\u003c\/i\u003e will teach readers to \u003ci\u003ereally \u003c\/i\u003elisten to the sounds of the world around them, to broaden and deepen their appreciation of the humans, animals, rocks, and trees simultaneously broadcasting across the whole spectrum of sentience.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCaspar Henderson\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and journalist living in Oxford, England.
