Media Reviews
The book's strength lies as a sourcebook of essential formulae and thumbnail physical descriptions ... this is a book to which all committed auditory researchers should at least have access. It is a serious attempt to educate students and researchers to the idea that some areas of physiology may be better described with the help of a little, but quite approachable, mathematics.' * Jonathan Ashmore, Experimental Physiology - Volume 78, 1993 *
The author sets out to cover the material at three levels, and to this reviewer he succeeds almost totally. The book will certainly be extremely valuable for biologists or others who study the physiology of motion sensing, hearing, and sound production in animals. The clarity of the explanations will also make it useful for anyone who wishes to understand the behaviour of sound in small spaces and in mechanical structures, whatever the application may be.' * H.A. Dillon, Australian & New Zealand Physicist, Volume 31, Number 4, April 1994 *
