Sound Science by Samuel Livingston

"Sound Science" explores the fascinating world of acoustics and auditory biology, revealing how sound and vibration are perceived by biological systems.
The book explains the creation of sound waves, detailing how vibrating objects generate pressure waves.
Discover how the intricate structure of the ear acts as a transducer, converting mechanical energy into neural signals.
From the physics of wave propagation to the anatomy of the ear, "Sound Science" offers a comprehensive understanding of hearing.

The book begins by establishing the fundamental physics of sound, defining concepts like frequency and amplitude, before delving into the ear's anatomy and physiology.
It progresses to examine sound localization, pitch perception, and how sound is used across the animal kingdom for survival and communication.

This book stands out by not only explaining the science of sound but also connecting it to real-world applications such as improving human hearing and mitigating noise pollution.
With detailed diagrams and clear explanations, "Sound Science" makes complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in science, biology, and neuroscience.
