What They're Saying
Critics Review
”…an excellent example of how one can present comprehensive accounts of intertwined psychological, physiological, and physical aspects of perceptual phenomena on a nontechnical level but without compromising the essence of their serious scientific analysis….highly suitable for teaching elements of psychophysics and neurophysiology to physics undergraduates…”—Contemporary Psychology
”…represents an excellent introduction to the basic concepts of hearing.”—American Scientist
“Luce has crafted an impressive book….Intended for undergraduates (bright ones), it contains the best introduction to acoustics to appear in quite some time.”—Annual Reviews of Psychology
