Editorial Review:

Product Description:
B> The leading introductory book in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, this book contains contributions from leading authorities which bring life to the world of people with communication disorders and excite students about the challenges and rewards of helping them.

Focuses on understanding the underlying nature of communication problems, and thoroughly explains the current theory and research. This book presents the "nuts and bolts" of clinical therapy at the depth of detail students of this subject require. The book covers a broad range of topics, and provides an overview of the discipline - its history, philosophy, ethics, professions, career opportunities, and legal and legislative foundations. The individual chapters are written by recognized experts in the field that the first-generation of authors have selected to continue the traditions of currency and expertise. Readers and Students interested in the introductory study of Communication Disorders.




Rating: - Good Book - So so Delivery
This is an incredibly interesting book with a profound amount of information on Communication Disorders. Each chapter is written by authors that are specialized in all the different areas of this vast topic.
All in all a good read, an essential necessity, especially if studying towards a Speech and Language Pathology degree.

The only negative aspect is the shipping(to New Zealand) which took two and a half weeks longer than promised.

Rating: - Human Communications Disorders
This is a well written text that is easy to take notes from. It is very thorough, but it is definitely written with the professional in mind, with many sitings and technical terms.

Rating: - some good points, some not that great
This text book is very comprehensive and updated (particularly regarding the chapters on genetics and multiculturalism). However, as an introductory text, it contains too much information in too many chapters, often on an intermediate level.
