When you think about it, listening has a lot of layers. Listening with half an ear to background chatter, or listening with your whole body to music or a loved one.

'Third Ear: Reflections on the Art and Science of Listening' is Elizabeth Rosner’s thoughtful and engrossing book weaving together research on how we and all kinds of creatures listen and hear. It includes her own story of listening but sometimes not hearing her parents, survivors of the Holocaust.
