«A grande orquestra animal» is Bernie Krause's popular science essay, published by Kalandraka in paperback (364 pages, in Galician).
Krause reviews four decades of soundscape recordings and classifies natural sound into three types: biophony, produced by animals and plants; geophony, from wind, water and rain; and anthrophony, generated by human activity, with negative effects on other species. The work shows how human action has silenced entire ecosystems.
The work belongs to the Vitamina N collection and the translation from English is by Antía Veres Gesto. The cover subtitle is «Á busca das orixes da música nos espazos salvaxes do planeta».
A read for those seeking a popular science approach to the natural world from the perspective of sound and ecology.
