This book is a must read to anyone interested in a excellent description of sound theory. Although it is not a new book, the author has been the discoverer of many of the topics treated there. In addition, the approach is not an absolute abstract one but the author relates the derivation and proof of theorems always relating to real cases. The derivation of the equations of movement is really a marvel. The treatment and explanations of energy concepts inside the equations are really invaluable. The explanation of modes is the best I have ever read. The mathematical treatment is very friendly and formative. You cannot miss the explanation of the Rayleigh quotient by its own author! It is not easy to find a book that covers many subjects with the clarity and connection that "The Theory of Sound" does.
