Críticas:

"'Rothenberg is passionate and sincere, and there is something glorious about his quest.' The New Scientist 'Rothenberg's compositions can be heard on the CD that comes with his book: affecting and often moving pieces, aural evidence of his attempt to bridge emotion and rationality...By coming to a better understanding of these strange, beautiful and sentient animals, we begin to understand ourselves, too.' The Telegraph"

Reseña del editor:

In Thousand Mile Song, musician and philosopher David Rothenberg uses the enigma of whale sounds to explore whether we can truly understand nonhuman minds. Interviewing scholars around the world as they attempt to decipher underwater music, Rothenberg tells the story of scientists and artists confronting an unknown as vast as the ocean. Along the way, he plays his clarinet live with whales in their native habitats, from Russia to Hawaii, making interspecies music that appears on the included CD. Richly detailed and deeply entertaining, Thousand Mile Song is an imaginative look at the most intriguing creatures of the ocean.
