Preclinical Speech Science: Anatomy, Physiology, Acoustics, Perception Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Written in a user-friendly style by three distinguished scientists/editors/clinicians, who have taught the course to thousands of students at premier educational programs, the scope of the book is all-inclusive, comprehensively covering anatomy, physiology, acoustics, perception, and swallowing. The book represents a quantum leap forward toward preparing speech-language pathologists in training to understand importance of the science that underpins their work and provides framework for approaching the evaluation and management of each of their future clients. This text provides all that instructors need to ensure that their students are fully ready for the clinical practicum training. Describes scientific principles explicitly, and in translational terms that emphasize their relevance to clinical practice. Features original illustrations and artwork designed to be instructive learning tools customized by a single illustrator and are largely in full color. Includes clinical scenarios woven into the text to emphasize the relevance of the concepts presented and focus the discussion on humanistic values. Rich with analogies that aid thinking about processes from different perspectives. Features "sidetracks" that relate interesting historical and contemporary facts to the discipline of speech science. Provides a framework for conceptualizing the uses, subsystems, and levels of observation of speech production, speech, and swallowing. Ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses preparing students for clinical study.

This speech science text has the best illustrations and figures that I have ever seen in a speech science text book. Explanations are extremely thorough, and exceptionally clear. A great resource!
A harder read but a great resource for those who want to fully grasp and understand speech science. I love this book. My professor used to use it, but the students complained it was too hard. That being said we used a book where the writer was quite confusing and would explain and concept and then retract it and say "but actually that's the not the case,you should think of it this way". This book was a great supplement for my speech science course.
My professor suggested I buy the book and use it as a reference. Used the book for 2 classes. It was helpful for anatomy but as for the speech acoustics class, I HATED IT! didn't help me AT ALL. I couldn't find topics in the book easily.
WOW! just tons and tons and tons of info. Its a pretty easy read and again lot of info. Wow
It would've been nice to have anatomy charts in one section in appendix as well as throughout the book.
I got the book in great time and am pleased with the quality of the book.
I barely used this book for one of my classes and the binding completely tore off one day when I picked it up. Also, I found the "scenarios" at the beginning of each chapter very corny and unhelpful.
When I got the book the spine was cracking. Now the spine has pulled apart. It was slightly cheaper, and now I assume that it was rejected for sale. I will never buy a book this way again. And neither should you. Rip off!
