Reviews
"Personal, descriptive, and filled with anecdotes and everyday life examples, Sound and Noise often addresses the reader in the second person, posing ethical questions and dilemmas and raising controversial issues. An excellent and provocative book." Barry Truax, Simon Fraser University and editor of Handbook for Acoustic Ecology, "Personal, descriptive, and filled with anecdotes and everyday life examples, Sound and Noise often addresses the reader in the second person, posing ethical questions and dilemmas and raising controversial issues. An excellent and provocative book." Barr, "Epstein makes a convincing case that more attention should be paid to the auditory environment and its effects on physical and psychological well-being. Highly recommended. All readers." Choice

Synopsis
A timely evaluation of the noise that surrounds us, how we hear it, and what we can do about it, Marcia Jenneth Epstein gives us the impetus and the tools to understand the sounds and noise that define our daily lives. This is a groundbreaking interdisciplinary study of how auditory stimuli impact both individuals and communities., This book is about how you listen and what you hear, about how to have a dialogue with the sounds around you. Marcia Jenneth Epstein gives readers the impetus and the tools to understand the sounds and noise that define their daily lives in this groundbreaking interdisciplinary study of how auditory stimuli impact both individuals and communities. Epstein employs scientific and sociological perspectives to examine noise in multiple contexts: as a threat to health and peace of mind, as a motivator for social cohesion, as a potent form of communication and expression of power. She draws on a massive base of specialist literature from fields as diverse as nursing and neuroscience, sociology and sound studies, acoustic ecology and urban planning, engineering, anthropology, and musicology, among others, synthesizing and explaining these findings to evaluate the ubiquitous effects of sound in everyday life. Epstein investigates speech and music as well as noise and explores their physical and cultural dimensions. Ultimately she argues for an engaged public dialogue on sound, built on a shared foundation of critical listening, and provides the understanding for all of us to speak and be heard in such a discussion. Sound and Noise is a timely evaluation of the noise that surrounds us, how we hear it, and what we can do about it.

- e***u (283)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoThe listing was for a hardcover version of this book; however, I received a paperback. The Seller replied quickly to my question about this issue and issued a full refund - and let me keep the book. So, a diligent Seller for sure - and well packaged and reasonable timing on shipping. Thank you for the refund, and as you suggested, I'll likely donate this volume and seek the hardcover.

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
