note = "Funding Information: Most of the simple models presented here represent contributions of the authors and many of their collaborators, students and postdoctoral fellows, whom we would like to acknowledge at this time. In particular, Prof. Jerome Vasseur, who proofread portions of several chapters. This book paints a picture of the emerging new science of sound that reflects the biased perception and understanding of the authors alone. We would also like to acknowledge partial support from the US National Science Foundation (NSF) as well as the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) through the Laboratoire International Associ{\'e} “Materials and Optics.” The book is divided into six chapters with their own set of references, each of which is intended to be self-contained and able to be read independently. In case there are overlapping concepts, we refer to the appropriate subsection of other chapters.",
