...the book is one of the few that this reviewer is aware of that provides such a straightforward and readable presentation of issues related to workplace noise and vibration...Overall, I found this book to be extremely well written presented in a logical style supported by good photographs and graphics. North American readers will find much valuable information on the basics of industrial noise and vibration surveys even with the UK centric nature of the book. - Noise Control Engineering Journal, Jan-Feb 2005
