Architectural Acoustics

Abstract

THIS massive volume admirably illustrates the manner in which a specialised physical subject, even in ‘non-atomic’ physics, may rapidly proceed from a very unsatisfactory rule-of-thumb stage to a stage in which one may obtain some definite measure of guidance from an appeal to fundamental principles. This particular subject, which owes its existence in great measure to the pioneer labours of the late Prof. Sabine, is developed by the author in a very competent and comprehensive manner.

Architectural Acoustics.

By Prof. Vern O. Knudsen. Pp. viii + 617. (New York: John Wiley and Sons, Inc.; London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1932.) 40s. net.
