"... a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the fundamental subjects essential for understanding a wealth of sound and vibration problems. This second edition contains substantially revised content when compared with the first edition and also incorporates several completely new chapters."
-Journal of Sound and Vibration, 2016
"... a valuable addition to the bookshelf of any academic or student of acoustics."
-Acoustics Bulletin, November/December 2015
"... this book is a good starting point for students and professionals approaching the field. ... It is quite self-contained and can be used as the main textbook for a one semester undergraduate or initial graduate course."
-European Acoustics Association Newsletter, 2015
"The book is authored by internationally respected academics at ISVR and this in itself is a recommendation. It is excellent as an introductory text in sound and vibration for graduates with sufficient mathematical back-ground. This means that the audience is limited to graduates in mathematics, physics and engineering. Although some of the chapters are related to noise and vibration control it will be more useful to those planning to work in engineering R&D contexts than those planning to work as consultants for example in building acoustics."
-Keith Attenborough, The Open University
"...provides a comprehensive, coherent narrative of the fundamentals of sound and vibration and the associated practitioner-level components, while allowing the reader to delve into each unique topic area in greater detail. It is a well-written text that can serve the graduate-level student as well as provide the practitioner with a relevant and timely reference manual to better understand and deal with the often complicated sound and vibration issues encountered in the real world."
-Noise Control Engineering Journal
"Although there are many authors, the book maintains an even language and homogenous graphics style... This is a good book for an introductory course on sound and vibration"
