Abstract:	Intended for the basic course in speech and voice science in communication disorders departments, this book is the most definitive textbook for beginning students with little background in voice and speech sciences and disorders. Instructors will appreciate the appropriate details on the physics, acoustics and physiology of voice and speech as well as the feeling of being in the lab while research takes place. The author has included feature panels throughout the text depicting interesting historical or physiological highlights that add both depth and lighthearted commentary to the reading experience. Major research discoveries and historical events of note are incorporated in a chapter introducing the leading voice and speech laboratories from around the world, showing how the field has grown over the past half century. An exceptional chapter on phonation presents the most in-depth exploration of voice and laryngeal dynamics available in any text that is targeted specifically to undergraduate and introductory graduate students in speech-language pathology. This chapter would also make an excellent supplement to any voice disorders class.
