It discusses the basic problems in perception theory, with emphasis on hearing and sound. Series: Synthese Library. Num Pages: 180 pages, biography. BIC Classification: HPM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 12. Weight in Grams: 454.
