Synopsis
Gordon Hempton has one of the most seemingly ridiculous and redundant jobs in America-and also one of the most essential. Hempton is an "acoustic ecologist," who traveled across the entire country making recordings of silence. (Do I hear crickets chirping?) That's right, silence. Due to technology and urban sprawl, silence has become just as endangered as any species of wildlife, and Hempton is on a mission to preserve it before human noise becomes completely ubiquitous. He describes his rambling quest for quiet in this memoir that mixes equal parts of Rachel Carson, Robert Pirsig, and Jack Kerouac. Hempton's silence-scapes are actually recordings of purely natural sounds, made by buzzing insects, mewling elk, and clucking prairie chickens, and the book comes with a CD sampler of his work.

Publisher's Note
An Emmy Award-winning acoustic ecologist presents a call to arms against human-created noise, arguing that natural quiet is key to human and environmental health and should be added to the world's ecological agenda, in a volume that is complemented by CD recordings of natural soundscapes.
