This book reviews a variety of methods for wave-based acoustic simulation and recent applications to architectural and environmental acoustic problems.Following an introduction providing an overview of computational simulation of sound environment; the book is in two parts: four chapters on methods and four chapters on applications. The first part explains the fundamentals and advanced techniques for three popular methods; namely; the finite-difference time-domain method; the finite element method; and the boundary element method; as well as alternative time-domain methods. The second part demonstrates various applications to room acoustics simulation; noise propagation simulation; acoustic property simulation for building components; and auralization.This book is a valuable reference that covers the state of the art in computational simulation for architectural and environmental acoustics.

This is the best tribute to Whitney Houston.The book is large; heavy and it is done well: its a pleasure to hold it in your hands.Photos are incredibly beautiful. And there are a lot of really rare things like shots from some well-known photoshoots that have never published before.What I didnt like about the book is the way some (very few though) pictures lay on two pages; so some part of it is folded. There are a couple of photos where the part of the face is folded; which counts as a mistake when you typeset a photobook.But when you turn the page and look at the other picture; you forget about all the mistakes; because there are a lot of breath-taking photos there.So I wish to thank people who created this book. And if you have people who truly love Whitney Houston among your friends; trust me; its going to be the best gift for Christmas.16 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Nevertheless...By InTheBlackIm not at all feeling Clive or the people who surrounded Whitney; who continue to monetize her. I get shady vibes; and dont want to give them my money (or viewer ratings). But I couldnt resist this one...Many of these are photos youve seen before; but larger. Nevertheless; you cant go wrong with so stunning and singular a subject.God Bless You; Whitney! Wishing you eternal peace.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful. Great Tribute to a true iconBy StevieBook contains some amazing photos although I was slightly dissappointed that the Richard Avedon shoot for the "Whitney" album is missing altogether. They could have also included some different takes on her most iconic moments (the 80s are pretty much ignored and there are no shots off the Im Your Baby Tonight shoot with her brown leather jacket). I would have loved to have the "hipper" Whitney be better reflected too (video stills off the "Fine" video could have been in there instead of 4 or 5 off the All The Man That I need video; more off the My Love is Your Love tour; VMAs 2000 and that shot when shes wearing the pink fur and snake pants in the David LaChapelle shoot for the greatest hits 2000). Apart form this; its a fantastic collection of a truely beautiful and captivating woman!
