Author: Anton Spice
Genres: Environmental Non-Fiction
From birdsong to sirens, protest chants to digital drones, sound becomes both archive and prophecy, telling us where we’ve been and where we are heading.
Weaving reportage, cultural history, and personal reflection, Anton Spice meets the people using sound to transform our understanding of the rapidly changing planet: biologists tracking noise pollution in the Atlantic, architects sculpting urban soundscapes, conservationists listening for Amazon deforestation, and shepherds hearing water in the world’s driest desert.
Expansive in scope yet grounded in sensory detail, The Sonic Landscape reveals the hidden histories and sonic futures of our time — and asks whether listening more deeply can change the way we think about the world around us.
For readers of Rebecca Solnit’s Wanderlust, Robert Macfarlane’s Underland, and David Toop’s Ocean of Sound — works that blend cultural criticism, environmental writing, and lyrical observation.
