Acoustic Communication, 2nd Edition (2 Revised edition)

Since the first edition was published seventeen years ago social and technical changes have altered the world of acoustic communication.

This book draws upon many traditional disciplines that deal with specific aspects of sound,and presents material within an interdisciplinary framework.

It establishes a model for understanding all acoustic and aural experiences both in their traditional forms and as they have been radically altered in the 20th century, Digital technology has completely redefined the listening and consumption patterns of sound.

We are now able to benefit from the march of technology via a companion CD-ROM, which accompanies this volume for the first time.
