520    Throughout history, hearing and sound perception have been
       typically framed in the context of how sound conveys 
       information and how that information influences the 
       listener. Hear Where We Are inverts this premise and 
       examines how humans and other hearing animals use sound to
       establish acoustical relationships with their 
       surroundings. This simple inversion reveals a panoply of 
       possibilities by which we can re-evaluate how hearing 
       animals use, produce, and perceive sound. Nuance in 
       vocalizations become signals of enticement or boundary 
       setting; silence becomes a field ripe in auditory 
       possibilities; predator/prey relationships are infused 
       with acoustic deception, and sounds that have been 
       considered territorial cues become the fabric of 
       cooperative acoustical communities. This inversion also 
       expands the context of sound perception into a larger 
       perspective that centers on biological adaptation within 
       acoustic habitats. Here, the rapid synchronized flight 
       patterns of flocking birds and the tight maneuvering of 
       schooling fish becomes an acoustic engagement. Likewise, 
       when stridulating crickets synchronize their summer 
       evening chirrups, it has more to do with the cricket 
       community monitoring their collective boundaries rather 
       than individual crickets establishing personal territory 
       or breeding fitness. In Hear Where We Are the author 
       continuously challenges many of the bio-acoustic 
       orthodoxies, reframing the entire inquiry into sound 
       perception and communication. By moving beyond our common 
       assumptions, many of the mysteries of acoustical behavior 
       become revealed, exposing a fresh and fertile panorama of 
       acoustical experience and adaptation. Praise for Hear 
       Where We Are: Hear Where We Are is as poetic as it is 
       informative - in the tradition of some of the best 
       scientific writing." Julia Whitty, Author, Deep Blue Home:
       An Intimate Ecology of Our Wild Ocean Hear Where We Are 
       opens up an entirely new way of understanding not only 
       sound perception but our place within the world I no 
       longer just hear my surroundings, rather I am now aware of
       how deeply sound shapes my relationship to the world 
       around me... Kevin W. Kelley, Author, The Home Planet.
