Noise: A Human History of Sound and Listening Main edition
David Hendy
Prehistoric drummers used natural acoustics to recreate natural sound. In classical Europe, orators turned the human voice into a lyrical instrument. In Buddhist temples, the icons' ears were exaggerated to represent their spiritual power. This book explores the role of sound, noise and listening in 100,000 years of human history.
