Abstract	"We typically equate science with technical approaches of method, tools, and measurement. Rhetorician Megan Poole finds that something less tangible underpins research when scientists face the limits of disciplinary logic and rationality: beauty. Drawing on interviews with leading evolutionary biologists who study animal communication, Listening to Beauty investigates how scientists engage their environment to make sense of their observations. According to Poole, aesthetics-specifically beauty-is a cornerstone of scientific invention and integral to its logic, its data, and its objectivity. These scientists' stories about encountering beauty in nature reveal how they come to know their subjects in the field, often through the bodily work of feeling and listening. Listening to Beauty then considers how bodies learn through lived experience, how natural environments challenge what we think we know, and how we understand lessons from nonhuman kin. The result is an awareness of how scientific knowledge-making happens through rich, varied methods, sometimes unsystematically, sometimes incoherently, often beautifully"-- Provided by publisher.
