Book Review: Everything I'd wanted to know
Summary: 5 Stars
The book assumes a bit of understanding of DSP: basically, that sound is vibrations and that you can think of it as a sum of many frequencies. The early articles pick up from there, explaining how those vibrations are picked up by the ear, and tries to explain the results we've studied so far on how the brain interprets it. Lots of inspirational bits to spur your own exploration, and there are suggested labs/mini-labs in the back.
