Two books of some relevance

[Wild Sanctuary <>]

"The Soundscape of Modernity" by Emily Thompson, MIT Press, 2002
details the urban soundscape between 1900 - 1933 and the ways in
which it was migitaged with new technologies in the field of
architectural acoustics.

"Listening to Ninth Century America," Mark M. Simth, Chapel Hill
Press, 2001. Ever try to figure what the soundscape of slavery is? Or
the Civil War? Or antebellum society? It should have included a CD
for examples but the explanations become the next best thing.
