From the Foreword: "In this new text, ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS, Professor Egan has retained all the desirable features of its predecessor [i.e. CONCEPTS IN ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS, 1972] and has updated the material with the experience gained in the past decade, as well as added several new useful features such as checklists on design and problem areas in building acoustics. The clarity of the illustrations and format of tables of engineering data greatly enhance the usefulness of the book for reference. Like its predecessor, ARCHITECTURAL ACOUSTICS emphasizes concepts and aids the designer/decisionmaker in judging the relative importance of acoustical considerations in the context of the overall building environmental system. This book is an important contribution to the better understanding of building acoustics problems in a growing multidisciplinary design environment." Hard Cover. Very Good+ condition/No Dust Jacket, as issued. xx, 411pp.
