Writing style is straight 1971 high school physics textbook (which is a good indication of who the target audience is). The title implies that there are special treatments or techniques that are helpful in making small rooms sound less terrible, otherwise why would the book exist? Spoiler: there are no special techniques or devices. The real message here (which is useful�.) is that when treating a small room, you must be prepared to use every form of treatment extensively, rather than simply tweak or fine-tune, like you might be able to get away with in a larger space.
