The sheer number of types of projects, with the various suggestions, lessons learned, anecdotes, and pearls of wisdom, can provide at least a sense of the width and breadth of topics that should be considered and evaluated for a successful acoustical outcome.
-Tony Hoover in Journal of the Audio Engineering Society
This book is the result of many years of ground experience in the field of building acoustics. This certainly makes it today the most living material in this field. It is both a classical course and a contemporary work in the sense that is closely related to modern technical developments in building architecture. ...I particularly appreciate the motivation of the author to provide a very general overview of the discipline going from the basics of acoustics up to the ground experience (including some personal stories).

The narrative texts and the references at conclusion of each chapter are a remarkable interweaving of European and North American standards and regulations, which not only documents and illustrates how universal acoustical issues and solutions are, but makes the book a global primer that might be useful on any continent.
