The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants by Karen Bakker

5.0

This is one of the more fascinating and informative non-fiction books I have read. The author discusses how advances in bioacoustic technology have allowed us to listen to how certain animals communicate with one another and their environment - animals we can't hear with just our ears. One thing I loved about this book was the author also included Indigenous perspectives and knowledge in addition to just Western science. I think this is an important read as it also documents how noise pollution is negatively impacting animals and their habitats, and provides solutions for preventing further degradation of the environment and endangerment of animal species.
