It is a very good place to start for those who are just beginning but for those with experience or previous training it offers little technical or detailed information nor acoustical equations.

less than I expected
Based on the pedigree of the authors and price of the book I expected more information. Is there need for another introduction to acoustics?

Based on the pedigree of the authors and price of the book I expected more information. Is there need for another introduction to acoustics?
The sections on Tools and Examples did not provide enough information for me. In some ways these chapters read like an article written in a trade maagzine. IE,'.. the facility had this issue ___, we did ___ and everyone is happy now....' I hoped to find more detail on the analyses of an acoustical problem, and detail on why and how a solution was determined. So if this is a single text introduction to architectural acoustics it's OK. I think Architectural Acoustics by Mehta, Johnson & Rocafort, Marshall Long (see my review), or Acoustics and Noise Control for Architects and Builders by Irvine and Richards are more informative and a better value. |
