Noise

Noise (1970) by Rupert Taylor – Pelican Original
As sold by Crappy Old Books

In this long-forgotten gem of 1970s social critique, Rupert Taylor lifts the lid on the modern world’s most persistent pollutant: noise. With wry observation and just the right amount of academic indignation, Noise explores how the constant clatter of traffic, industry, and neighbourly nuisance has shaped not only our soundscape, but our sanity.

Originally published as a Pelican Original, Noise dives into the sociological, psychological, and political dimensions of our increasingly noisy lives. Taylor asks: what is silence worth, and why have we allowed it to slip through our fingers?

Perfect for fans of obscure cultural commentary and vintage public-awareness polemics, this battered paperback comes pre-loaded with that comforting smell of 20th-century paper decay.
