Arthur N. Popper, Editor
Summer Issue
As many members of the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) know, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and other ASA journals have recently adopted new styles and covers. These changes did not include Acoustics Today (AT) because our style is rather different from those of the ASA peer reviewed publications.
However, about six months ago, we decided to try to make the magazine more readable, have it incorporate ASA publication standards (e.g., colors, fonts), and improve the way that the various parts of the magazine tie together. At the same time, we did not want to do anything to alter the content of the magazine or what it contributes to the ASA and its members.
