Summary: This is an Outstanding Book
Review: This is an outstanding book for anyone interested in room acoustics. My motivation as an Audiophile for purchasing this book was to answer the basic question: "Should my next audio investment be in room acoustic treatments, and if so what are the considerations involved?" This book methodically breaks down every aspect of the behavior of sound, and how that behavior affects and is percieved by the listener. Reverberation, reflection, dispersion, diffraction, absorption, spectral analyses, modal analyses, room topology, etc., etc... It's all there. An absolute must have for any Audiophile.

Summary: EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT
Review: This is probably the most comprehensive source I've ever seen for acoustic applications. It contains material that is hard to find anywhere else such as human absorbtion of sound waves. I won't get into detail because of it being a source type text. If knowledge in the acoustic domain is your thing, this book is a must have.

Summary: Outstanding!!!!!
Review: To say that the Master Handbook of Acoustics is an 'incredibly comprehensive work' it's like saying that the Beatles were 'some band from Liverpool'. Without a doubt, a must-have. Better than that, buy two and enlighten a friend! :-) Now really, this is the absolute definitive book on acoustics, covering topics ranging from sound propagation to room acoustics to absortion, diffusion, refraction, reflection, diffraction and everything else you can think of.

Summary: Very good, but...
Review: Very good in relation to room acoustics, but almost useless out of America. The book does not acknowledge the metric system, and the chapters about construction apply to materials and construction methods used only in America. Otherwise, a really good book at hammering the basics in your head! If only there were metric versions of the equations...
