The art of theatrical sound design : a practical guide
Emphasising the artistry behind the decisions made by theatrical sound designers, this guide is for anyone seeking to understand the nature of sound and how to apply it to the stage. Through tried-and-tested advice and lessons in practical application, The Art of Theatrical Sound Design allows developing artists to apply psychology, physiology, sociology, anthropology and all aspects of sound phenomenology to theatrical sound design. Structured in three parts, the book explores, theoretically, how human beings perceive the vibration of sound; offers exercises to develop support for storytelling by creating an emotional journey for the audience; considers how to collaborate and communicate as a theatre artist; and discusses how to create a cohesive sound design for the stage.

Engineering acoustics : noise and vibration control
ENGINEERING ACOUSTICS
NOISE AND VIBRATION CONTROL
A masterful introduction to the theory of acoustics along with methods for the control of noise and vibration
In Engineering Acoustics: Noise and Vibration Control, two experts in the field review the fundamentals of acoustics, noise, and vibration. The authors show how this theoretical work can be applied to real-world problems such as the control of noise and vibration in aircraft, automobiles and trucks, machinery, and road and rail vehicles.
Engineering Acoustics: Noise and Vibration Control covers a wide range of topics.
The sixteen chapters include the following:
* Human hearing and individual and community response to noise and vibration
* Noise and vibration instrumentation and measurements
* Interior and exterior noise of aircraft as well as road and rail vehicles
* Methods for the control of noise and vibration in industrial equipment and machinery
* Use of theoretical models in absorptive and reactive muffler and silencer designs
* Practical applications of finite element, boundary element and statistical energy analysis
* Sound intensity theory, measurements, and applications
* Noise and vibration control in buildings
* How to design air-conditioning systems to minimize noise and vibration
Readers, whether students, professional engineers, or community planners, will find numerous worked examples throughout the book, and useful references at the end of each chapter to support supplemental reading on specific topics. There is a detailed index and a glossary of terms in acoustics, noise, and vibration.

Sonic skills : listening for knowledge in science, medicine and engineering (1920s-present)
It is common for us today to associate the practice of science primarily with the act of seeing - with staring at computer screens, analyzing graphs, and presenting images. This open access book explains why, indeed, listening for knowledge plays an ambiguous, if fascinating, role in the sciences. For what purposes have scientists, engineers, and physicians listened to the objects of their interest? How did they listen exactly? And why has listening often been contested as a legitimate form of access to scientific knowledge? This concise monograph combines historical and ethnographic evidence about the practices of listening on shop floors, in laboratories, field stations, hospitals, and conference halls, between the 1920s and today.
