Dear Nature Recordists,
I=92ve been on the listserv many years and realize you usually cover tech.=
But I=92m in the final stages of writing a book (under contract for a tradi=
tional publisher) about the science and experience of sound for ages 10-14.=
It=92s called the Noisiest Book Ever, sequel to my book, the Slowest Book =
Ever. It=92s kind of a buffet book: lots of quotes and short paragraphs abo=
ut acoustic science, about sound for monitoring, sound as a signal, sound a=
s a tool, the problems of noise, and so on. My purpose is to help kids in c=
lassrooms imagine sound and the possibilities for exploring it.
If any of you would like to share, I=92d love to hear from you about sound =
experiences/incidents that stand out in your mind. Noisy, funny, problemat=
ic, surprising, humbling, scientifically intriguing, puzzling, challenging =
to gather . . whatever would intrigue/inspire.
Also, I am interested to hear from any of you about experiences using sound=
to monitor the health of habitats/species.
Feel free to add anything else you want kids to know/try in the world of so=
und.
Let me know your name and any title you=92d like used when I quote you and =
website to credit you in acknowledgments.
Also open to suggestions for recommended cds, apps, materials websites, inc=
luding your own.
(Only if they are appropriate for school students in relatively conservativ=
e districts, i.e, sorry but nudity, cussing, and heavy duty politics will l=
ikely mean editors will cut them from my book, alas :-( )
Thanks, Bernie Krause, for all you do.
Thanks to all of you for gathering and sharing sound joy with others.
