Comments on “The Science and Applications of Acoustics” [Springer-Verlag (2000, 2006)]

Abstract

Raichel’s “The Science and Applications of Acoustics” (Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2000) has extensive material that appears to have been extracted from four other texts without proper attribution. The material so used extends to figures, detailed structure of entire sections and developments, and phrasing of individual passages. While in some instances like material between the texts has been paraphrased to some extent, in others it appears almost unaltered.
