Edited by Karolina Doughty, Cultural Geography Research Group, Wageningen University & Research, the Netherlands, Michelle Duffy, Centre for Urban and Regional Studies, University of Newcastle, Australia and Theresa Harada, Australian Centre for Culture, Environment, Society and Space, University of Wollongong, Australia<i>'</i>Sounding Places<i> represents a significant theoretical and empirical moment in an emergent sonic geography. Through the lens of a more-than-representational theoretical approach, the volume presents an eclectic and dizzying array of sounds, places and experiences for the reader to savour - from the crashing of ocean waves, the sounds of airports, to breakdancing in Milan subways, to the spatial awareness of the visually impaired, to the geopolitical sounds of nations and the sonic atmospheres of dormitory rooms, this volume presents a truly compelling contribution to our understanding of the role of sound in the geographies of our everyday lives.'</i><br /> --Michael Bull, University of Sussex, UK<p><i>'Sound is embodied and embedded in materials and processes which envelope, embrace and touch humans deeply, providing senses of temporality which animate place through vivid presents and intense memories. Exploring relationships between sound, music, body and environment, this collection makes an important contribution examining sonic places in all their richness.'</i><br /> --George Revill, The Open University, UK</p>
