Thomas D. Rossing completed his B.A. at Luther College in 1950, his M.S. and Ph.D. at Iowa State University in 1954. His dissertation was in the field of molecular physics. After graduating, he went into industrial research, and from there, he went to teaching. Currently, he is a professor at Northern Illinois University.
Professor Rossing has published more than 200 papers and ten books. He is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has held about a dozen research positions other than at his home institution―in national laboratories, in research universities, and in several other countries. The Acoustical Society of America awarded him the Silver Medal in Musical Acoustics.
This is a great reference for learning about acoustical physics. I like that the answers to the problems are in the back of the book. This helped me immensely when I was studying

The book is informative and light. This is given that you do actually know some of the basics taught in freshman physics. If you're too busy doing all your sciency stuff to pick up that keyboard or violin that's been collecting dust, this may be a class that appeases you for the time being.

The book itself is in good condition. However, someone used this book before must have been eating while he read the book. There are crumbs and hair in between pages which makes me feel really uncomfortable.
I think this textbook failed to expain each of the topics. A longer explanation of the given topics (which were mostly experiments) should have been given.
