"Hear Where We Are" is a book about sound perception. Unlike most technical treatments on sound and hearing, this work explores the natural history of sound perception from the standpoint of the subjective experience of sound and how it affects our sense of placement. The book intersects the fields of acoustics, cognitive science, animal communication, language, culture and architecture to reawaken our appreciation of how sound connects us to our surroundings. It will be published in June 2013 by Springer.
