Worship Space Acoustics is a unique guide to the design, construction, and use of religious facilities for optimum acoustics.

Part II provides the architect, student, and lay person a review of the characteristics of the religious services pertinent to various beliefs and how these are provided for in the acoustic design of spaces in churches, mosques, and synagogues.
