Description
"This audio CD contains the episodes seven and eight of The Sound of Life. Progamme 7 Soundings From the Future: If there is one thing that has transformed the sound of the planet more than an...y other in the last century, it is the increasing levels of sound created by human technology (from air and road traffic to shipping and underwater geological surveys). In this programme, Aubrey explores the consequences of this increasing level of "noise pollution" on animal communication, and examines whether man-made noise is drowning out the natural song of the earth. Programme 8 The Song of the Earth: In this final programme, Professor Aubrey Manning introduces a celebration of the song of the Earth, visiting some of the acoustic hotspots around the world and eavesdropping on some of the Earth's most evocative sounds. This is a journey through a day in the sound of the planet"
