Subject: Re: history of hearing science reference From: Christopher Haworth <littl.shyning.man@xxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 31 Aug 2016 12:33:24 +0100 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--089e0122f43852cfc8053b5c78be Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Valeriy, Some good 'internalist' accounts of hearing science history and developments, akin to the Neuhoff, can be found in the below references. Davis, Audrey B., and Uta C. Merzbach. Early Auditory Studies: Activities in the Psychology Laboratories of American Universities. Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1975. Davis, Hallowell. =E2=80=9CPsychological and Physiological Acoustics: 1920-= 1942.=E2=80=9D Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 61, no. 2 (1977): 264-66. Plomp, Reinier. The Intelligent Ear: On the Nature of Sound Perception. Mahwah, N.J.: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 2002. And to the above references to Sterne, Mills and Hui I would add David Trippet and Alex Rehding's work. Cultural and critical histories of hearing science are on the rise at the moment...
