Abstract
This book is concerned with factors that affect the way in which sound is reflected from a surface with particular emphasis on those surfaces found in auditoria. The two aspects, absorption and diffusion, are covered but the main novelty is the treatment of diffusion. Both authors have achieved well deserved international recognition for undertaking fundamental research on this topic over the last fifteen years. Trevor Cox has concentrated on the aspects of modelling, prediction and measurement whilst Peter D'Antonio has first hand experience of the application of diffusion in a range of highly significant and high profile projects. The distinct backgrounds of the two authors complement each other well, resulting in a book that will be valuable to both practitioners and researchers.
