Subject: New book -- Communication acoustics: An introduction to Speech, Audio and Psychoacoustics From: Pulkki Ville <ville.pulkki@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 11:08:40 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--_000_D098DD33A1EBVillePulkkiaaltofi_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleague, [sorry if you get this message multiple times] this is to inform that the book "Communication acoustics: An introduction t= o Speech, Audio and Psychoacoustics=94 by Ville Pulkki and Matti Karjalain= en is available as a hardcover and as an ebook from Wiley. The book makes an introduction to the fields which concern some kind of co= mmunication channel having the human as listener in the end, the fields tog= ether are called as =93communication acoustics=94. The main fields discussed in the book are: Physics of sound / Signal processing / Human voice and speech / Music instr= uments and synthesis / Psychoacoustic testing / Psychoacoustic quantities /= Spatial hearing / Auditory modeling / Sound reproduction / Time-frequency-= domain audio processing / Speech technologies / Sound quality / Technical a= udiology The book has 456 pages and 250 figures. Its table of contents can be viewed= here: http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118866541,subjectCd-PH51= .html The book is primarily meant for Msc-level teaching in technical universitie= s, but it also serves as a reference book for professionals in the field. In my university, the book is partially read on the first course in the mas= ter program on acoustics and audio technology, after which more detailed co= urses take place. If you are thinking that the book could be used in your teaching, you can r= equest a copy for evaluation from Wiley. I am planning to publish also the = slides that I use in my classes.
