"Room Acoustics remains a classic which should continue to find a place on the shelf of many acousticians."-- David Thompson in Journal of Sound and Vibration"In its sixth edition, this book remains an indispensable guide for students and practitioners of acoustics. It presents first principles in depth while also being concise, with great supporting diagrams. An easy-to-use reference and go-to resource, particularly for the practitioner looking to relate complex real-world findings back to fundamental theory.--Raj Patel, Arup Acoustics, USA"An extremely elegant textbook that covers the engineering aspects of room acoustics. I recommend it to anyone wanting a sound technical introduction into room acoustics, without spending too much time on perception."--Jean-Dominique Polac, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris"An unavoidable reference for any serious work in the field of room acoustics."-- Jens Rindel in Nuntius"The author covers sound waves, sound production, and the mechanics of hearing; the reflection and scattering of sound; the behavior of sound waves in a room; geometrical room acoustics; reverberation and steady-state energy density, sound absorption and sound absorbers, and many other related subjects."-- Eithne O'Leyne, Editor, ProtoView"Overall, this edition provides valuable new material to keep this classic text up-to-date. If your work or studies involves room acoustics, this book should be your first port of call."-- Neil Thompson Shade in Noise Control Engr.
