About this ebook
Quiet is one of the most elusive, hard to find natural resources left. In this collection of pieces, award-winning travel writer Edward Readicker-Henderson goes in search of quiet, of the sounds the world makes when it's only talking to itself, to find what true quiet is and what it can mean to us.
