The soundscape--a term coined by the author--is our sonic environment, the ever-present array of noises with which we all live. Beginning with the primordial sounds of nature, we have experienced an ever-increasing complexity of our sonic surroundings. As civilization develops, new noises rise up around us: from the creaking wheel, the clang of the blacksmith's hammer, and the distant chugging of steam trains to the "sound imperialism" of airports, city streets, and factories. The author contends that we now suffer from an overabundance of acoustic information and a proportionate diminishing of our ability to hear the nuances and subtleties of sound. Our task, he maintains, is to listen, analyze, and make distinctions. As a society we have become more aware of the toxic wastes that can enter our bodies through the air we breathe and the water we drink. In fact, the pollution of our sonic environment is no less real. Schafer emphasizes the importance of discerning the sounds that enrich and feed us and using them to create healthier environments. To this end, he explains how to classify sounds, appreciating their beauty or ugliness, and provides exercises and "soundwalks" to help us become more discriminating and sensitive to the sounds around us. This book is a pioneering exploration of our acoustic environment, past and present, and an attempt to imagine what it might become in the future.Binding Type: Paperback

I use this every day on my face and body
I have this in my subscriptions because it works so well and makes my skin feel so soft. It's a very good quality product but it is whipped. I didn't know that till it first came

Temus has better beef tallow skin cream..
* Got much better results from a temu beef tallow/manuka honey skin cream... the temu one is creamer and less dense, so it spread and immediate melts/absorbs right into your skin... next morning results much better in temu product.. ama,ons is pasty and greasey, doesn't absorb like the temu one... doesn't feel good on skin... temu soaks right up into your skin like a sponge.. no greasy feel... just smooth skin... i ordered temu's again...

Keep On Hand - Smells Wonderful
I just spent several days removing a large, deep poison ivy patch in a side yard. Quite exhausting but made much safer and easier with this lovely smelling, high quality soap. I did not have ANY skin irritation whatsoever even though I am extremely allergic to Urushiol oil. I did use lots of protective covering and immediately sprayed down with white vinegar first. Then washed up with this very lovely smelling and effective soap. Leaves my skin soft. Would not be without it. Great price. Generous size. Will last a long time stored in its box. Great protective if you wash within 12 hours.

Loved this fresh smelling natural soap for poison ivy rash
I was pleasantly surprised how wonderful & effective this soap is. First of all it smells amazingly fresh and clean. It is soothing on poison ivy rash, it eases the itch, it rinses squeaky clean helping to remove the poison ivy residual oil, and yet it leaves skin soft and smooth. It is also a creamy off white color and not the ugly green brown color pictured in description. I do recommend this high quality natural soap, it is a generous size and a good value, and works well. I loved it!
