الصوت جزءٌ لا يتجزّأ من تجربتنا الحياتية وتفاعلنا مع العالم من حولنا، سواء أكان ذلك في صورة ضجيج أم موسيقى؛ فالصوت يُشكِّل كيفية تعاملنا مع كل ما يحيط بنا، ومن ثم فلا غنى عن فهمه في العديد من المجالات المتنوّعة، مثل علم النفس واللغويات والعمارة والسلوك الحيواني والتطوّر وعلم المحيطات، وبالطبع الموسيقى. في هذا الكتاب، يأخذنا مايك جولدسميث في جولة سريعة نلقي فيها نظرة على علم الصوت ونستكشفه في سياقات متباينة، ما بين المسموع وغير المسموع، وما تحت الأرض وتحت الماء، وما هو إلكتروني وكهربائي، فضلاً عن نعمة السمع لدى الإنسان والحيوان. وعلى مدار الفصول الثمانية القصيرة لهذا الكتاب، يلقي جولدسميث الضوء على أهم الاكتشافات في تاريخ البشرية التي أثّرت على فهمنا للصوت واستخداماتنا المعاصرة له، كما يناقش مشكلة الصوت عندما يكون «في غير محله»، أي الضجيج، وكيف يمكننا الحدّ منه وحماية آذاننا وسط الأصوات التي لا نختار الاستماع إليها.

While some trees will survive in cooler places, scientists estimate that by mid-century less than five percent of the ponderosa in the American Southwest may remain. As the very character of this vast region shifts, what will be left behind? And how can we come to terms with such profound loss?
