Using our suggested research strategies you can find specialist books and journal articles to match your interests. Here is a list of some of the most important ones you may come across: 1. Acoustic Textbooks and Handbooks at SIBLAcoustics. Leo Leroy Beranek. New York : McGraw-Hill, 1954 PFB (Beranek, L. L. Acoustics) One of the classic university textbooks on the subject, this advanced mathematical treatment is still the set textbook on degree-level acoustic and audio engineering courses. Acoustical Engineering. Olson, Harry F. Princeton ; Van Nostrand, 1957 TTF (Olson, H. F. Acoustical engineering) A large, classic textbook on acoustics and still relevant (the 1957 text was reprinted in 1991). The author was an acoustical scientist at the RCA Research Laboratories in Princeton NJ (now the Sarnoff Research Laboratories) which pioneered sound recording and radio. Fundamentals of acoustics. Kinsler, Lawrence E and Frey, Austin R. New York : Wiley, 1962. PFB (Kinsler, L. E. Fundamentals of acoustics, 1962) A classic university textbook, still recommended on degree-level courses. Acoustics and noise control handbook for architects and builders. Leland K. Irvine and Roy L. Richards. Malabar, Fla.: Krieger Pub. Co., 1998. JSF 98-237 Noise control reference handbook. Hirschorn, Martin., Bronx, N.Y. : Industrial Acoustics Company, 1989. JSC 03-122 A largely non-mathematical and practical treatment of noise, its measurement and reduction. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Standards.Print editions of current standards are held on the open reference shelves in the reading room at SIBL. The Subject Index in Volume 1 lists specs, testing methods and practices under “acoustic, acoustical, noise”… etc *R - TA401.A65 2. Acoustics Journals (print editions).These are printed journals to which SIBL subscribes. You can only see these journals by requesting them with a call slip, but you are welcome to request recent issues if just want to scan them for new content. Acoustical physics. New York, NY, American Institute of Physics JSM 93-198 [1993- current] Acoustical science and technology, edited by the Acoustical Society of Japan. Tokyo, Japan : The Society, 2001- . JSM 01-90 see also entry in online journals list Environmental health perspectives.
