You would have to listen to this cd to understand how extroidanary it is. I picked up my copy at the Nature Company. It is best if listened to while looking at the book at the same time. You'll hear booming sands, ants, elephants communicating over miles, and even the sounds of space. It is a very cool book/album. You must get it and you won't regret it!

I used this CD to enhance a lesson plan for an Earth Science high school course. It worked fabulously!
