### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Very dense and academic, but quite interesting for the right kind of reader
  

*by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2014*

This book covers a lot of material in a lot of detail.  It is amazing to me how Helmoltz was able to explore acoustics in such depth despite how crude the instrumentation was that was available in that era (more than a century ago).  No computers.  No oscilloscopes.  No function generators.  No loudspeakers.  No microphones.  He had to invent his own instrumentation, but he was incredibly imaginative in doing that.  My wife and I were fighting over the book so we bought an extra copy!  She's a music student and I'm an engineer, so we we drawn to different parts of the book.  But it is only suitable for people with a strong academic background.

### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great Book - Bad Reprint
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016*

This is an absolutely wonderful book.  Not only does it lay the foundations for psycho-acoustics, but it documents the brilliance and creativity shown by Helmholtz in devising experiments to understand the nature of sound and its perception that relied purely on Victorian pre-electronic technology. Why only one star?  Because Dover has botched the current reprinting.I have a Dover printing from the 1980s, which I love, and bought a couple of new copies to give to musician/techie friends who hadn't heard of it.  Alas, while the current printing (which can be identified by an orange colored spine, where the older Dover printings had a spine the same grey-green color as the front cover) still contains the statement on the copyright page "This Dover edition, first published in 1954, is an unabridged and unaltered of the second (1885) edition of the Ellis translation", it's not true.  Some of the illustrations have been vandalized!  This is quite obvious on page 40, where there's an engraving of a resonator box with a tuning fork on the top.  On my 20th century copy, and on the digital version on Google Books, it's very clear.  In the orange-spined 21st century reprint, someone took it on themselves to modify the image to make the tuning fork unrecognizable and the diagram incomprehensible. I don't see how it could be a printing error - it's not a distortion of a single image, nor a doubling of the whole image, but a small amount of graphic copy-and-pasted over the original. The best guess we have is that it was done for copyright protection, but in a book like this, that would amount to scientific and historical vandalism.
