For centuries, humans ignored sound in the "silent world" of the ocean, assuming that what we couldn't perceive, didn't exist. Marine scientists now have the technology to record and study the complex interplay of the myriad sounds in the sea. With intimate and artful prose, this book tells a uniquely complete story of ocean animals' submerged sounds, envisions a quieter future, and offers a profound new understanding of the world below the surface.
