A bit of a challenge to read at times, but great for use as a reference. Covers more than the basics of sound transmission and all the associated physical science. Concepts are clearly and thoroughly explained. If you like the hard facts all the math you could ever hope to have is here - and if you don't like the math it's easy to ignore without losing the message. I'm glad to have the book and equally glad it wasn't my required text for Hearing Science.

Although there is a lot of highlighting in the book, the book itself is in good shape and I have no problem with it. It got here very quickly and appeared just the way it was advertised.

If you have had university-level physics then this will not offer too much except to reinforce ideas. However, it is well-written and a nice introduction to the topic for those who are interested in science but are not scientists by trade.

I was required to buy and basically memorize this entire book for class and it was very good; i learned more than the basics, that's for sure. However, my classmates thought it was a little cut and dry and that some parts were a tad confusing.

I RECEIVED THE BOOK VERY SPEEDILY AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. HOWEVER, AFTER USING THE BOOK A FEW TIMES FOR STUDYING, I NOTICED SOME OF THE PAGES WERE GETTING LOOSED AND WERE BEGINNING TO FALL OUT. OTHER THAN THAT, I AM PLEASED BECAUSE THE BOOK IS VERY EASY TO FOLLOW.
