About the Book

本书承袭雷切尔卡逊《寂静的春天》的远见卓识,让我们注意到视为理所当然的美,并且敲响了迫在眉睫的环保警钟。曾获艾美奖的声音生态学家戈登汉普顿发出警语,大自然的寂静是美国消失最快的资源,他的使命便是在这些抚慰心灵的地球声境因与日俱增的人为噪音而消失之前,完整地录制并保存这些丰富多样的声音。这部叙事优美的作品,让人想起国家公园之父约翰缪尔(JohnMuir)、普利策奖得主约翰麦克非(JohnMcPhee)、自然学者和作家彼得马修森(PeterMatthiessen)书写自然的大作,也是典型的美国故事,驾着1964年福斯小巴从西到东横越美国大陆之旅。但汉普顿的旅程如此与众不同。他背着录音器材和测量音量的分贝计,好奇又深情地倾听大地多彩的自然之声。他与旅程中邂逅的人细说寂静,耐心倾听。抵达目的地华盛顿特区时,汉普顿已完成饶富意义又令人难忘的美国"声音心电图",并在当地拜会联邦官员,极力主张保护自然的寂静。《一平方英寸的寂静》不仅仅是一本书而已,也是真实存在的地方,位于美国华盛顿州奥林匹克国家公园(OlympicNationalPark)霍河雨林(HohRainForest)实际的方寸之地,可能是美国最后留有自然寂静的地方之一。这次充满启发性的宁静探索,使得如今美国生态议程中已纳入大自然的宁静。 In the visionary tradition of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, One Square Inch of Silence alerts us to beauty that we take for granted and sounds an urgent environmental alarm. Natural silence is our nation's fastest-disappearing resource, warns Emmy-winning acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton, who has made it his mission to record and preserve it in all its variety-before these soul-soothing terrestrial soundscapes vanish completely in the ever-rising din of man-made noise. Recalling the great works on nature written by John Muir (Father of the National Park), John McPhee (winner of the Pulitzer Prize), and Peter Matthiessen (a naturalist and writer), this beautifully written narrative, co-authored with John Grossmann, is also a quintessentially American story-a road trip across the continent from west to east in a 1964 VW bus. But no one has crossed America like this. Armed with his recording equipment and a decibel-measuring sound-level meter, Hempton bends an inquisitive and loving ear to the varied natural voices of the American landscape. He is an equally patient and perceptive listener when talking with people he meets on his journey about the importance of quietness in their lives. By the time he reaches his destination, Washington, D.C., where he meets with federal officials to press his case for natural silence preservation, Hempton has produced a historic and unforgettable sonic record of America. More than simply a book, it is an actual place, too, located in one of America's last naturally quiet places, Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park in Washington State. The fully enlightening exploration into quietness has driven the tranquility of nature to be included in the ecological agenda of the United States.
