--JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTIC SOCIETY OF AMERICA
"One can only effervesce with praise upon perusing The Acoustic Bubble, by T.G. Leighton. Here is a volume that is both
comprehensive and readable--that informs the expert and the novice....The reader is well served by the authors careful attention to
detail, his extensive table of symbols (14 pages!), his excellent use of photographs and graphics, an extraordinarily comprehensive
bibliography, and, most of all, by his lucid physical descriptions of phenomena not only having to do with bubbles but also with a
variety of physical systems that are related to foundations of the sciences that one must understand if one is to apply them to the
bubble problem....The Acoustic Bubble is not only interesting reading; it is an extraordinarily useful reference for those
working in or planning to work in the field....Theres no trouble with this Bubble."
--PHYSICS IN MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY
"The strength of this book lies in its effortless and enjoyable coverage of a wide swathe of rather intimidating literature and its
unified mathematical approach....undoubtedly a major contribution to the field by an accomplished teacher, scientist and enthusiast."
--SCOPE (THE JOURNAL OF THE IPSM)
"There is no doubt that this is the most comprehensive and accessible text on acoustic cavitation available....This is a required
reference for scientists and, in particular, medical physicists interested in becoming acquainted with the mathematical description
of bubble dynamics and the wealth of associated physical phenomena. It is user friendly, thorough in its treatment of the theory and
encyclopedic in its coverage of the experimental literature. I have no doubts that it will become a standard text."
