Deep Listening to Nature

<p><em>Deep Listening to Nature</em> is an invitation to open our ears to the natural world.</p><p>Beginning by tuning in to the sounds of creatures around us Andrew discusses how to identify species by call interpret their communications and find empathy for their sentience.</p><p>Part reflection part nature and travel diary Andrew asks the question: What does listening reveal about how the living systems of nature function and why do birds in particular negotiate their interactions in such lyrical and extraordinary ways?</p><p>He concludes by suggesting we not only listen to learn <em>about nature</em> but learn <em>from nature</em>. He asks how in our current environmental crisis we may mimic what the biosphere has achieved in sustaining life as we move toward an ecological future and in doing so form a deeper and more personal connection to Country.</p><p>Andrew encourages us to be still and listen. Extend our senses. Let nature get to know us and in its own way to welcome us.</p><p>The book is accompanied by an online soundtrack with 300 audio recordings which bring the text to life.</p><p><br></p>
