Eavesdropping: An Intimate History

John L. Locke (Professor of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, Lehman College, City University of New York)

Eavesdropping is a form of human communication in which the information gained is stolen. It encompasses cheating to get unfair advantage, espionage to uncover secrets, and supervision to maintain power. John Locke considers the biological drive behind this behaviour as well as its social implications and consequences across history and cultures.
