鈥淲e live in the age of noise. Silence is almost extinct.鈥�

Norwegian philosopher and adventurer Erling Kagge was the first person to reach the 鈥榯hree poles鈥� of North, South and the summit of Everest.

In 'Silence: In the Age of Noise', he explores the power of silence.

In this clear and insightful analysis, he asks why we need it, how we lost it and where we might go to find it again.

Omnibus of five parts read by Cal MacAninch.
