The Natural History of Silence

In this book, eco-acoustic historian Jérôme Sueur delves into the concept of silence, revealing it as neither empty nor singular.

He takes readers through various natural landscapes to discover a vast array of silences that evoke emotions such as anxiety, awe, and peace.

The book contrasts the rich natural silences with the disruptive sounds of human activity, emphasizing the importance of attuning ourselves to the natural world and its acoustic diversity.
