In this issue, this section presents four book reviews, with the first and the last being written by the authors themselves. A novelty is that all of them are also available in English language (Portuguese versions are also available on page 101).
We remind you that the reviews are written in an abbreviated and concise way to summarize the content of the books (on subjects related to the various sciences involving acoustics, vibrations, and audio) and to bring information about the authors (to further contextualize the works).
We present reviews of the following books in this issue:
Room Acoustics: Design and Modeling
(Acústica de Salas: Projeto e Modelagem)
Author: Eric Brandão | Blucher, 2016
Array Signal Processing: Concepts and Techniques
Authors: Don H. Johnson and Dan E. Dudgeon | Prentice Hall, 1993.
Acoustics in Building Rehabilitation
(A Acústica na Reabilitação de Edifícios)
Author: Jorge Patrício | Engebook, 2018 (4 ed.)
Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Structural Dynamics and Signal Processing
Authors: Bin Tang and Michael J. Brennan | Wiley, 2022
Eric Brandão, professor of the Acoustical Engineering Program (EAC) at the Federal University of Santa Maria (UFSM, Brazil), presents his book on Room Acoustics (a subject he teaches in the program) — the book was technically revised by William D’Andrea Fonseca (who is an EAC professor as well). The work won the Jabuti Prize (2017) and is in its first revised edition.
Next, we have a classic, “Array Signal Processing”, by American professors Don H. Johnson and Dan E. Dudgeon, a must-read for studies on the subject that deal with mechanical or electromagnetic waves.
The third book is authored by Jorge Patrício (professor in Portugal), who is a reference in Building Acoustics.
Finally, we have the book “Virtual Experiments in Mechanical Vibrations: Structural Dynamics and Signal Processing”, by Bin Tang and Michael J. Brennan, who write the review of their own book (an international collaboration).
We hope that reading the reviews offers an initial understanding and good impression about the studies and awakens the desire to know them in their entirety: an excellent way to expand knowledge and keep up to date in the field.
