And the first book on the place of nature's sounds and how they have been understood in early twentieth-century British life. I reveal the essence and composition of sounds that made up ideas of peace and quiet and 'silence’, while relating them to British identity in times of war and technological change.

This history of wild birds and people is hardly documented.

Several men working with the stones in the hills around Keswick created a set of xylophone instruments, which they took to tour around England and the east coast of the USA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a7de2d7a0ed63c8bc81743/ae9ef2a1-f7c0-46e5-9d2a-e5296a35426a/Close+to+you.jpg Bio & projects - Close to You: Wild Birds in London Homes I’m working on a new book about the rise and fall of bird-keeping in the home – wild songbirds like goldfinches, ‘exotic’ imported species like parrots and domesticated canaries and budgies. Why were these birds kept with such passion in Victorian London by people of all classes and what happened to this now almost extinct tradition? I look at bird-keeping as a way to bring the natural world up close, bring the outdoors indoors. I consider the perceived chattiness and sociability of birds as well as impressions of their musicality. The status of birds as sporting creatures, trophies of imperial power, objects of affection and victims of human domination are all in play here. https://www.michael-guida.com/the-book daily 0.75 2022-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a7de2d7a0ed63c8bc81743/ffdf7dd3-a093-4dff-8b5b-a6025a31f2c5/Book-Cover.png Michael Guida - Listening to British Nature: Wartime, Radio & Modern Life, 1914–1945 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a7de2d7a0ed63c8bc81743/6627f977-8399-42c6-a554-834dc24145d8/Charing+Cross+Quiet+Wounded.jpg Michael Guida - Listening to British Nature: Wartime, Radio & Modern Life, 1914–1945 A banner reading ‘Quiet for the Wounded’ outside Charing Cross Hospital, London, September 1914 (© Imperial War Museum) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61a7de2d7a0ed63c8bc81743/fcdb6819-644a-4135-971c-1406783b2f34/Ward+bathing.jpg Michael Guida - Listening to British Nature: Wartime, Radio & Modern Life, 1914–1945 G.
