1. Sound

   Robertson, William C.

   Arlington, Va. : NSTA Press, ©2003.

   Muddled about what makes music? Stuck on the study of harmonics? Dumbfounded by how sound gets around? Now you no longer have to struggle to teach concepts you really don't grasp yourself. Sound takes an intentionally light touch to help out all those adults-science teachers, parents wanting to help with homework, home-schoolers-seeking necessary scientific background to teach middle school physics with confidence.The book introduces sound waves and uses that model to explain sound-related occurrences. Like the other popular volumes, it is written by irreverent educator Bill Robertson, who offers this Sound recommendation: "One of the coolest activities is whacking a spinning metal rod to create a `wah-wah' effect. It's a simple activity-the explanation incorporates several interesting properties of sound.

2. Sound

   Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2000.

   This highly informative and fascinating book brings together perspectives on sound by leading experts from a wide variety of disciplines. These include anthropology, physiology, zoology, physics, music, phonetics and film. Through crossing disciplinary boundaries, the volume hopes to inspire a richer and more creative approach to the acoustic world. Whilst aiming for a general audience and presented in an accessible style, several chapters also represent important contributions within their own disciplines or will serve as core texts for students. The sequence of nine chapters passes from cultural perspectives on silence, via the physics of sound, physiology of the ear, songs of birds, and sounds of human speech, to music. From the reconstruction of medieval music, via twentieth-century composition and the music of the Kaluli of Papua New Guinea, the volume concludes with the role of sound in film. Life will never sound the same again.
