Introduces Systematic Formulations for Use in Acoustic ApplicationsAcoustics in Moving Inhomogeneous Media; Second Edition offers a uniquely complete and rigorous study of sound propagation and scattering in moving media with deterministic and random inhomogeneities. This study is of great importance in many fields including atmospheric and oceanic acoustics; aeroacoustics; acoustics of turbulent flows; remote sensing of the atmosphere and ocean; noise pollution in the atmosphere; and wave propagation.Provides Sensible Explanations Using Step-by-Step PracticeThe book begins by considering sound propagation through moving media with deterministic inhomogeneities such as vertical profiles of temperature and wind velocity in the atmosphere. It moves on to a new study of sound propagation and scattering in media with random inhomogeneities in adiabatic sound speed; density; and medium velocity. Then this second edition newly sets out state-of-the-art numerical methods for calculating the sound field and its statistical characteristics in moving inhomogeneous media; which is particularly useful for those working in atmospheric acoustics and studying noise pollution. Numerical codes are provided on the bookrsquo;s website www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9780415564168Covered in three parts; this second edition:Incorporates new results developed since the previous editionRewrites and extends the text with formulations of sound propagation and scattering in random moving mediaDescribes numerical methods for performing calculations involving equations from the first two partsAcoustics in Moving Inhomogeneous Media; Second Edition serves as the basis of a graduate course in atmospheric and oceanic acoustics or as a rigorous reference work in a wide range of fields such as atmospheric and oceanic acoustics; aeroacoustics; acoustics of turbulent flows; acoustic remote sensing; noise pollution; and wave propagation in deterministic and random media.

Alas. the Last Kiss of AllBy enubriusThere have been numerous histories of the American Musical and. like that unique art form itself. their quality has varied. Some have been excellent such as Gerald Bordmans "The American Musical". some dreadful (kindness forbids naming names. but you know who you are Mr. Flinn!). And then there is one that is sui generis. Actually. that one is six. Ethan Morddens six volumes. each covering a decade from the 20 when what we define as American musicals began through the 70s when. as Mr. Mordden mordantly beilieves. it ended. The genius of these works (really only one long work) lies in both its completeness (what other work on the subject would include "Smith". a Don Murray starring fiasco of the early 70s?) and the brilliant evocation of each show in its time and place in American theater and culture. Mordden manages this feat even for shows he couldnt possibly have seen unless hes old enough to make Bob Hope seem a comparative teen-ager. I am not stating anything radical when I say that this is NOT a book to everyones taste. We cant get people to GO to musicals anymore. let alone READ about them. But for those who care. this is THE one to read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy robert keuschergood price fast service
