Sound: A Very Short Introduction by Mike Goldsmith Understanding sound is essential to appreciating how we experience the world. But what is sound itself? What physical principles govern pitch and harmony, and how are these principles used in musical instruments? This introduction explores the science of sound, examining its properties and applications across various contexts. From the audible to the inaudible, sound waves are present everywhere - even underground and underwater. The book also considers the impact of noise and ways to reduce it. With clear explanations and analysis, Goldsmith provides a comprehensive overview of sound, making it an ideal starting point for those new to the subject or looking to deepen their understanding. The Very Short Introductions series offers concise and engaging introductions to almost every subject area. This book is no exception, providing a thorough introduction to the science of sound in a compact and accessible format.
