Reviews

This book is a worthy memorial to his life and work. It takes the form of chapters by people who worked with him, followed by an autobiography which he wrote in the latter part of his life. ... Reading this book will be particularly rewarding for those with interests in the more theoretical sides of acoustics, as well as for those who knew or are intrigued by one of the giants of 20th century acoustics. (Mike Barron, Acoustics Bulletin, July-August, 2015)
