Abstract
WHEN Dr. Richardson's book first appeared in 1927, it was described in a full review in these columns as “a well-balanced account of the present state of knowledge in experimental acoustics” (NATURE, 120, 760; Nov. 26, 1927). Since then, much new work has been done on such subjects as sound-recording, echo-sounding, supersonics, architectural acoustics, limits of audibility, analysis of sounds, and so on; and the book has been expanded from 286 to 319 pages to take these and other advances into consideration. There are new chapters on impedance, supersonics, and the reproduction of sound.
