Big ears-in oriental Buddhism, they indicate wisdom. They, or the people they are attached to, learn from listening. For a long time, Bernie Krause has been teaching us how to listen to the world to better understand what's going on and what we are doing to it. In this book, his 'yoga for the ears' gives us a fresh way of understanding how deeply sound affects us and the importance of finding tranquility-that less gives more. --Peter Gabriel, Musician
