5.0 out of 5 stars
A perfect, practical book,
By
This review is from: Detailing for Acoustics (Paperback)
As an acoustics consultant, I frequently use this well organised, to-the-point book as a reference.Lots of construction details, technical drawings and test results allow you to grab the essence of the subject very quickly. Sometimes, I bring my copy to workshops and manufacturers to discuss details. The graphical language of the authors makes my life easier during those discussions.
If a new edition would have been released, I would buy this one too. - Turker Talayman
