These diverse and inclusive case studies and experiences from around the world present a comprehensive exploration of cutting-edge methods, the latest technology and inspiration from the field.

It will be an extremely useful resource for aspiring and established wildlife sound recordists, as well as scientific researchers, creative practitioners, nature photographers, filmmakers, post-production specialists, and anyone with existing field-recording experience wanting to expand into wildlife sound capture.
