Reviews

As its title suggests, the book takes a structured, engineering approach. ... It also serves as a reference book to delve deeper into individual topics or to revisit buried knowledge. ... Acoustics for Engineers is convincing in its brevity and structure and is consequently recommended to all readers who, in addition to a well-illustrated presentation of the fundamentals of acoustics and electro-acoustics, are interested in their derivations, correlations, and analogies, as well as in the calculation of typical problems. (Martin Schneider, vdt Magazin, Issue (2), 2022)
