In \u003ci\u003eThe World's Din\u003c\/i\u003e, Peter Hoar documents the arrival of the first such \"talking machines\" and their growing place in New Zealanders' public and private lives, through the years of radio to the dawn of television. In so doing, he chronicles a sonic revolution--the radical change in the way New Zealanders heard the world. Audio technology, since its advent in the late 19th century, has been a continued refinement of the original innovation, even in the contemporary era of digital sound, with iPods, streaming audio, and Spotify. \u003ci\u003eThe World's Din\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautifully written account of this refinement in New Zealand that will delight music-lovers and technophiles everywhere.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Hoar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1988531195\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781988531199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Otago University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Peter Hoar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519730266367,"sku":"9781988531199","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d62e80a-b8ae-4a70-89e7-9c2cc2c334f9.jpg?v=1778738464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-worlds-din-peter-hoar-9781988531199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
