I couldn't see from your description how it relates to Audacity
_software_ (it sounded like a social book or possibly gender issues
related) until I googled by the name.

The Book of Audacity is the definitive guide to Audacity, the
powerful, free, cross-platform audio editor. Audacity allows anyone to
transform their Windows, Mac, or Linux computer into a powerful
recording studio.

The Book of Audacity is the perfect book for bands on a budget, solo
artists, audiophiles, and anyone who wants to learn more about digital
audio. Musician and podcaster Carla Schroder will guide you through a
range of fun and useful Audacity projects that will demystify that
geeky audio jargon and show you how to get the most from Audacity.

You’ll learn how to:

    * Record podcasts, interviews, and live performances
    * Be your own backing band or chorus
    * Edit, splice, mix, and master multitrack recordings
    * Create super–high fidelity and surround-sound recordings
    * Digitize your vinyl or tape collection and clean up noise,
hisses, and clicks
    * Create custom ringtones and sweet special effects

In addition, you’ll learn how to choose and use digital audio hardware
like mics and preamps, and tune your computer for flawless audio
performance. You’ll also find out how to package your work for digital
distribution, whether you want to share a podcast through iTunes or
sell your own CDs. Become your own producer with The Book of Audacity.
The fun starts now.
