In pop science getting things wrong: "Sperm whales are the loudest animal on Earth at 236 dB! That's enough to kill you!" Well, no. Sound pressure is measured differently in water and in air. Subtract ~61 dB for the equivalent SPL in air, 175 dB (same acoustic energy). And...
From a scientific perspective, or from an audio engineering perspective? For the former I would say just Google it, but for the latter I might have some specific things to recommend if you want to go into details about mixing and such.

I usually find out does help to have a cursory overview of the scientific basis to really understand the audio engineering aspects. Most resources seem lacking there to me and usually just go straight into abstract. But nevertheless, hit me with that audio engineering theory!

Oh, you should absolutely have an overview of the scientific basis first :-). Just stumbled upon this Khan Academy video that does a good job covering what a dB really is (when talking about sound pressure level):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_p-WyPg1sbU …
