The goal of this widely used book is to present in a highly illustrated format the principles of design for good hearing and freedom from noise in and around buildings. The more than 540 illustrations are not merely supplements to the text as with nearly all traditional books. In this book, the illustrations are the core of the coverage of basic principles of sound and hearing, sound absorption and noise reduction, sound isolation and criteria for noise, control of HVAC systems noise and vibrations, auditorium acoustics design, and electronic sound systems. The book is written for architects, interior designers, engineers, and all others concerned with the design and construction of buildings who need to know the basics of architectural acoustics, but who do not have the time to digest wordy presentations. Designers who understand the basic principles of acoustics will possess an important new tool for shaping the built environment. Hopefully, not only better acoustical environments, but also better buildings should result. Adopting professors will also receive an instructor's guide.An unabridged J. Ross Publishing republication of the edition published by McGraw-Hill, New York, 1988, 448pp.
Industry Reviews
"M. David Egan's large-format book Architectural Acoustics...is another important work on our shelf, and is a must for all libraries." Glen Ballou in S&VC; "Architectural Acoustics is for the intelligent, college-level beginner, with a desire to learn basic concepts, as well as practical computation and design methods. There is nothing else in print that covers as broad an area of acoustics, and covers it in as much depth. It would take a library of a dozen titles to duplicate what's in this one book, and still that library would not be current (would these titles include references to quadratic-residue diffusers?), or as useful in the hands of an architect." Ted Uzzle in Sound & Communications
