I am a sound engineer (not paramedic) and I found that book (its most part) covers topics of my interest, broad and deep enough, but I must admit some unwieldy style on explaining things there. (Just for the opposite example (on similar subject) I can point out to Juan G. Roederer's book "The Physics and Psychophysics of Music. An Introduction", more witty or easy to understand.)
