Discovery of Sound in the Sea (DOSITS) Book II: Science of Underwater Sound <https://dosits.org/book/> is a new, interactive electronic book (eBook) that contains high-resolution imagery, videos, and sound files. It utilizes existing, peer-reviewed DOSITS content to provide a condensed electronic resource that focuses on the fundamental science of underwater sound, sound movement, and sound measurement, as well as advanced content. Several topics in the book are areas of active scientific research; new information will be integrated into the eBook as peer-reviewed publications become available. 

The content in this book is based on the DOSITS project, including its website, www.dosits.org. DOSITS content is based on well-understood scientific principles, peer-reviewed literature, and high-quality scientific data. Independent, scientific experts, who specialize in underwater acoustics, have reviewed all DOSITS content. The DOSITS project keeps its content as up-to-date as possible, incorporating new research findings twice a year.

The book is available in the iTunes store <https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/discovery-sound-in-sea-book-ii-science-underwater-sound/id1354532634?ls=1&mt=11> for macOS, iPad, and iPhone.  To view sample pages and access the book via an iTunes link, please visit the DOSITS website at www.dosits.org/book/.   Information and an iTunes link for Book I: Importance of Sound in the Sea can also be found on this page.
