The value of natural silence is immeasurable and has been ignored too long. Keep up the good work! The value of natural silence is immeasurable and has been ignored too long.

I was reminded of it through an NPR radio show today (To the Best of Our Knowledge) and must get the book. I really appreciate your work. I've been to the Hoh Rain Forest and other parts of the Olympic Peninsula a number of years ago. What an amazing place, and I do think it's essential to keep at least parts of it free of mechanical noise. Lillian I haven’t read your book yet.

Very interesting interview. Just wondering, have you ever heard of Isle Royale National Park? My family owns a passenger ferry boat that transports people there for mainly hiking. In our brochure, we advertise "stone silence" as there are no motorized vehicles on the island, though there is a lot of boating. But at night, it is a quiet that we are not use to because there is no hum of any kind in the distance. And it is inky dark. We've (my family) been a part of that venture for 40 years. It's been a privilege in my life time. Thank you for bringing the importance of silence to us. Heard your interview on “On Point” on NPR traveling from Denver to Calumet, Michigan.
