A must for musicians, instrument builders, recordists This is a maybe 200 level college text, but it's so well written that it's extremely useful for even a layman such as myself. Lots of great stuff about different instruments and how they work, how sound propagates from them, how those sounds behave in a room, what happens after they hit our ears. Also lots about electronics and recording.
Fascinating stuff if you have any scientific bent, and a virtual requirement if you're involved in music.
