August 12, 2000
In the intoduction can you read that the books is writts in order to fill the void of the mathematicall side of the acoustics. A lot of books that I have reed in this subject does not talk much about the maths involved, so the atuhors is absolutely rigth. But the atuhors also written that this book ligths the properties of sound that does not invalves mathematics. Unforteally this book focus to much on maths and forgetts to explain thing in words without the help of numbers. But if you are a determend student or simular this book is necessary to understand the areas where a deep understanding of maths is required.

Acoustics and Psychoacoustics

by: David Howard, Jamie Angus

April 13, 2006
This book is ideal for students of music technology, sound recording and acoustics as well as engineers studying audio, multi media and communication systems.
This comprehensive book covers everything, as well as having excellent online support with questions and exercises to test your knowledge, web links for further resources and research, audio clips and calculation facilities.
If any other 'reviewer' tells you that it's 'taxing' ignore them- everything is explained in plain English in a clear and concise fashion, without dumbing down.

Romano Byzantine Armies 4th-9th Century (Men-at-arms)

by: David Nicolle

September 25, 1992
Good illustrations although, typically of McBride, they are rather fantastic and most of the subjects seem to be modelled on Swarzenegger! The main text is very synoptic in the first half and does not go into much more detail in the second, instead elaborating on the ethnic groups recruited by the Byzantines. The book would be more interesting if it included more historical content or at least a chronology. The achievements of Belisarius and Narses are some of the greatest in military history but they are only mentioned in passing, and only in the context of army organisation.
