Any good book to recommend?

I am looking for a good book to learn pretty much everything there is to know about live sound but were afraid to ask.

I want to learn live sound theory and techniques from bar gig to bigger outdoors venue.

Currently playing at bars with their own PA as well as bars with no PA at all (basically you set up in the corner).

Thanks!

I don't know if there is one book that covers everything, but
a good way to get an idea is to get a textbook on acoustics. Or better yet, take a class.
