Sir James Jeans has used his remarkable gifts of exposition to set
out all that is relevant in the science of acoustics to the art of
music. He offers a simple but precise account (illustrated with
well-chosen photographs and diagrams) of the anatomical origin and
workings of the human ear; the nature of sound vibrations; simple
tones and complex sounds; the principles and operation of musical
instruments; harmony and the musical scale; the effects of music on
men and animals; and the practical problems of acoustical design.
Scientists who appreciate music, musicians with an interest in
science and laymen who care for both, will thoroughly enjoy this
book.
