Adopting professors will also receive an instructor\'s guide.
Hopefully, not only better acoustical environments, but also better buildings should result.
Designers who understand the basic principles of Acoustics will possess an important new tool for shaping the built environment.
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.
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 more than 540 illustrations are not merely supplements to the text as with nearly all traditional books.
