Wilderness Songs: Nature’s hidden sounds and what they teach us about the wild

‘A compelling investigation into nature's sounds around the world, from song thrushes to snow leopards, packed with fascinating facts and delightful anecdotes, from a born storyteller. Wilderness Songs takes a fresh approach to the natural world, through its most intimate quality – sound.’ – Stephen Moss 'A brilliantly immersive book that gives nature's sounds the stage they deserve.' – Tristan Gooley 'Justin lets us listen in to hope… a new and powerful tool for conservation' – Paul Evans 'An ear-opening experience that will help you hear the world differently' – Ajay Tegala 'beautifully observed… reminds us why nature continues to inspire and enrich our lives' – Gordon Buchanan  'From the high Arctic, to tropical rainforests to the underwater world, author and wildlife film maker Justin Anderson draws on his extensive (often hilarious) field work, to capture some of nature's rarest, most curious and spectacular auditory experiences in this remarkable book. Entertaining with plenty of 'sound' science, Wilderness Songs brings together the written word and recorded sounds to make for a truly immersive reading experience, where nature is not just seen, but heard.' – Gillian Burke 'Teaches us to listen with the soul and in doing so fall deeply in love with the natural world. Anderson is a wonderful and vivid storyteller.' – Ellie Williams 'Lyrical and illuminating - you are about to enter a beautifully evocative, world of contemplation that transcends the visual. The QR codes bring a deeply dimensional aspect to Justin's narrative. Authentic and passionate: written from the heart, yet extremely educational.' James Aldred, author of Goshwak Summer 'The chapters form a fascinating collection of engaging first hand experiences from locations and habitats around the world. The detailed accounts are supported by well researched cutting-edge science and bioacoustic papers which I found richly rewarding. Both a pleasure to read and a good work of reference.' – Chris Watson, sound recordist and musician
