A KEEPER
I truly enjoyed this book and put it on my "Read Again Shelf" (there aren't many there). Fra Mauro is a great character - I wanted to be a fly on the wall to actually see him at his work.

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2000

A basic acoustic introduction
This book is easy to read with many practical examples described in simple basic acoustical or structural terms.

Prism Press, 1993

Making sense of Aboriginal culture and religion
As a white Australian I have known Aboriginal people, seen Aboriginal dances and gained a vague recognition that there was something quite spiritual about their culture, however primitive it seemed.
