Book Reviews of Architectural Acoustics (J. Ross Publishing Classics)
Book Review: Architectural Acoustics--Egan
Summary: 4 Stars
Over the years I have bought two text books on this difficult subject, and never could get past more than two chapters. In contrast, this book is both readable and extremely well organized with a summary of the main points at the end of each chapter. For any formulas used in the text, he defines the symbols along with the formula. No looking back to early chapters.
Highly recommended.
