An excellent (but sometimes difficult) book covering a wide variety of topics including numerical operations (convolution, Fourier Transform), digital representation of speech, filters (FIR and IIR), FFTs, DSP algorithms, applications (speech, synthesis, recognition, image processing), and some descriptions of DSP chips (mainly from Texas Instruments).

Handel, S. Listening: An Introduction to the Perception of Auditory Events. Cambridge, MA: MIT press, 1989.

This book includes in one source broad and detailed coverage of auditory topics including sound production (especially by musical instruments and by voice), propagation, modelling, and the physiology of the auditory system. It covers parallels between speech and music throughout.

Hawkins, H. L., and J. C. Presson. "Auditory Information Processing." In Handbook of Perception and Human Performance, edited by K. R. Boff, L. Kaufman, and J. P. Thomas, Chap. 26. New York: Wiley, 1986.

The authors focus on topics related to the capacity to process auditory information including attention and memory, and factors that mediate processing capacity such as noise and aging.

Hayward, Chris. "Listening to the Earth Sing." In Auditory Display: Sonification, Audification, and Auditory Interfaces, edited by G. Kramer. Santa Fe Institute Studies in the Sciences of Complexity, Proc. Vol. XVIII. Reading, MA: Addison Wesley, 1994.

Techniques for auditory monitoring and analysis of seismic data are described. Previous published work is limited to two papers now nearly 30 years old. This paper broadens the applications from the discrimination problem of earthquakes and nuclear explosions to training, quality control, free oscillation display, data discovery, large data set display, even recognition, education, model matching, signal detection,a nd onset timing. Simple processing techniques including interpolation, time compression, automatic gain control, frequency doubleing, audio annotation and markers, looping, and stereo are used to create seven audio data sets.

This short essay criticises Handel's book from an ecological perspective and offers suggestions of what an ecological approach to audition might consider.

Helmholtz, H. von Selected Writings of Hermann von Helmholtz, edited by Russell Kahl. Middletown, CT: Wesleyan University Press, 1971.

A classic text on the work of the nineteenth-century scientist into the realm of audiology and sonic phenomena. A necessity for historical continuity of research.

Hirsh, I. J. "Auditory Perception and Speech." In Steven's Handbook of Experimental Psychology, edited by R. C. Atkinson, R. J. Herrnstein, G. Lindzey, and R. D. Luce, 377--408. New York: Wiley, 1988.

Hirsh organizes his coverage of audition into single sounds, sound sequences, and speech, covering the important perceptual attributes of each type of sound.

Howell, P., R. West, and I. Cross, eds. Representing Musical Structure. London: Academic Press, 1991.

The authors present a range of studies of musical structure from a perceptual approach.

Howard, J. H., Jr., and J. A. Ballas. "Syntactic and Semantic Factors in the Classification of Nonspeech Transient Patterns." Percep. & Psycho. 28 (1980): 431--439.

The authors present the results of three experiments conducted to assess the role of syntactic (i.e., temporal) and semantic (i.e., knowledge) factors in the classification of sequences of brief sounds. Their results indicate that both factors and their interaction are important. Previous research has shown these to be important in speech and language perception. These studies demonstrate their importance in nonspeech sound perception.

Human Factors Journal. Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Publications Division, Box 1369, Santa Monica, CA 90406-1369.

This journal publishes original studies about people in relation to machines and environments. Auditory display studies are published only occasionally but usually address the effectivness of the auditory display within the context of a human-machine system.

Hutchins, E. L., J. D. Hollan, and D. A. Norman. "Direct Manipulation Interfaces." In User-Centered System Design: New Perspectives on Human-Computer Interaction, edited by D. A. Norman and S. W. Draper, 87--124. Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum, 1986.

This paper argues that direct manipulation systems (now often referred to as "GUI") are valuable because they minimize semantic and articulatory distances between humans and computers.
