Physical Acoustics: Principles and Methods

Volume 1 Part B Edited by Warren P. Mason New York and London: Academic Press. 1964. Pp. xiii + 376. Price $13.50 This book is the second part of an ambitious and—on present evidence– very successful project to record the scientific and technological advances which have contributed to the renaissance of acoustics. Some of its seven chapters are monographs of the kind familiar to readers of Reports on Progress in Physics, though better adapted to the needs of the inquirer who is not already expert in the topics under discussion.
