R. Haven Wiley is Professor of Biology and Ecology, Emeritus, at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Extremely readable and thought-provoking...The result of all this erudition and stimulation is very likely the best book of science published by a mainstream press in 2015, something that will make readers think about every sound they hear and why they hear those sounds and why they prefer some of those sounds to others. It's an invigorating inquiry.-- (05/29/2015) Haven Wiley gives a superb overview of how communication has evolved.--Hansjoerg Kunc, School of Biological Sciences, Queen's University Belfast
