This book explains the nature of sound both as a physical
phenomenon and as a sensation, how it travels through air and
water, and how the hearing system evolved to convert these
vibrations into sensations. Drawing on physics, biology,
neuroscience, philosophy, literature, history, anecdote, and
personal experience, "Now Hear This" is a wide-ranging exploration
of the nature of sound and hearing that opens up a fascinating
world of sounds from the mundane to the unusual and seeks above all
to persuade the reader of the wisdom of John Cage's advice that
"Wherever we are what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it,
it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating."
