Abstract
THE revitalisation of the subject of acoustics brought about by applications of the thermionic valve is reflected in all the newer books on the subject. The present volume, based upon lectures in a graduate course in electrical communications given at Yale University by Prof. Stewart, who is known for his pioneer work on acoustical filters, is no exception. So good is the book that one can merely note two minor defects, the omission of authors' names from the index and the rather too comprehensive title.
