Re: Life story of Ludwig Koch on BBC Radio 4 website. (Apr 15,09)

["Bernie Krause" bigchirp1]

I've got the 1st edition US (released in 1963) copy of Koch's 1938  
book, done with Julian Huxley and which includes a virtually pristine  
copy of the 7" LP record. It was a present to me from the late Ansel  
Adams, who, when he handed it to me at the conclusion of one of his  
Yosemite photo classes that I attended, said that I should stick to  
sound.  Fascinating stuff especially since he speculates in the text  
about the voices of ants and smaller organisms although he didn't have  
the gear to record those critters, then.
