Description: From a founding figure in the field the definitive introduction to an exciting new science. What do the sounds of a chorus of tropical birds and frogs a clap of thunder and a cacophony of urban traffic have in common? They are all components of a soundscape acoustic environments that have been identified by scientists as a combination of the biophony geophony and anthrophony respectively of all of Earth's sound sources. As sound is a ubiquitous occurrence in nature it is actively sensed by most animals and is an important way for them to understand how their environment is changing. For humans environmental sound is a major factor in creating a psychological sense of place and many forms of sonic expression by people embed knowledge and culture. In this book soundscape ecology pioneer Bryan C. Pijanowski presents the definitive text for both students and practitioners who are seeking to engage with this thrilling new field. Principles of Soundscape Ecology clearly outlines soundscape ecology's critical foundations key concepts methods and applications. Fundamentals include concise and valuable descriptions of the physics of sound as well as a thorough elucidation of all sounds that occur on Earth. Pijanowski also presents a rich overview of the ecological sociocultural and technical theories that support this new science illustrating the breadth of this amazingly transdisciplinary field. In methods he describes the principles of data mining signal processing and mixed methods approaches used to study soundscapes in ecological social or socio - ecological contexts. The final section focuses on terrestrial aquatic urban and music applications demonstrating soundscape ecology's utility in nearly all spaces.
