acoustics

**BOOK REVIEWS** By Liliana Amundaraín and Nashira Covarrubia    As the author is an architect as well as a musician, the information may be well oriented to clarify specific concerns without entering in the complex world of mathematics and physics. This book could be useful to architects leading with acoustics because it tries to simplify the physical principles that influence acoustic spaces design. Although Brook tries to extend acoustics to spaces different from concert halls, he doesn’t give any example of daily life spaces treated on his book.     Just by reading the title of this book we could say that this could be perfect to study about acoustics in architecture; but this book is better than the title, because it is specially made for beginner students of architecture and engineering. This could be an advantage on other books that treat the same topic, because the concepts explained could be easier to read and understand for us. Also this book is very complete because shows many examples of common problems and has over 540 images to illustrate the theories.
