Book
This is the voice / by John Colapinto.
A New York Times bestselling writer explores what our unique sonic signature reveals about our species, our culture, and each one of us. Finally, a vital topic that has never had its own book gets its due. The author shows us why the voice is the most efficient, effective means of communication ever devised: it works in all directions, in all weathers--even in the dark--and it can be calibrated to reach one other person or thousands.
