Reviews

The prose and arguments are very clearly framed and the book reads well ... There is much to tweak one's interest. * Don Ihde, International Journal of Philosophical Studies * A great deal of effort has been expended within both of these excellent books in order to contribute to the transformation of the philosophical study of sound and auditory perception ... as an exercise of paradigm-shifting and consciousness-raising, the potential impact of Sounds is huge. * Anthony Gritten, British Journal of Aesthetics, (Review of Sounds and Sounds and Perception) *
