1. Why Birds Sing
A Journey Into the Mystery of Birdsong
A lyrical, inquisitive exploration of birdsong that blends natural history, science and music to ask what it means for animals — and humans — to make and understand sound; the author travels, records and improvises with different species, explains the biology and evolution of song, reflects on the aesthetics and perception of listening, and considers how human culture, noise and habitat loss shape the voices of the natural world.
