Interesting background
For the NASCAR fan, or for those who don't understand how millions of people can watch cars drive in circles for hours, this book reveals how big business drove the consumer to the racetrack.

Fundamentals of Hearing: An Introduction

Academic Press, 2000

poor basics and too much air
I got the book from a friend and iam very disappointed. The book covers what all the other books cover too, but the author uses three quarters of the letters only to fill space.
