A Symphony of Sound

The Science Behind What We Hear

Delve into the captivating origins of sound in this visual feast. Sound fills our lives: we have evolved to communicate with it, we use it to create complex musical patterns of rhythm and pitch, and it evokes powerful emotional responses in us. The mysterious effects of sound on our everyday lives often go unnoticed - this book invites you to uncover those secrets.

A Symphony of Sound explores the science behind how sounds are made. It looks at how different instruments create their own unique sound, it explores the elaborate calls animals produce to communicate in the natural world, and it asks the question - what will the future sound like?

With engaging text by acoustics expert Professor Trevor Cox and vibrant, expressive artwork by Sophie Escavy Lim, this is a fresh take on a fascinating yet often overlooked subject.
