The dull roar of jet overflights. Your officemate's phone conversations. Noise is everywhere, disrupting our sleep, ratcheting up our stress, destroying our concentration--yet it's a problem that many of us shrug off once the immediate annoyance passes. In \u003cem\u003eClamor\u003c\/em\u003e, Chris Berdik reveals noise as one of the most pervasive, yet underacknowledged, pollutants in our daily lives, the harms of which extend far beyond our hearing, from our children's learning outcomes to our longevity to the natural world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe systemically neglect life's sonic dimension at our peril--not only driving up the racket but failing to harness sound's great potential. Berdik introduces us to the researchers, rock stars, architects, and many others who are finding surprising ways to make our world sound not only \u003cem\u003eless bad\u003c\/em\u003e, but \u003cem\u003ebetter\u003c\/em\u003e. Rising above the ever-increasing din, \u003cem\u003eClamor\u003c\/em\u003e is an urgent--and ultimately inspiring--call to reconsider our relationship to our world's soundscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Berdik\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324006994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324006992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
