This talk is a blend of philosophical, clinical, scientific thinking coming from an old man who has been around the block.. Biomedical Sciences is an area which focuses on chemistry and biology and how they relate to medicine The objecx00740069ve of the program is to provide students with core knowledge of the natural scie A great new introductory text that will appeal to both instructor and student alike Modern and most up to date treatment serves today\'s SLP community Covers the core essentials of the subject concisely and to the point Structured to aid the instructor with sections easily assimilated into extant lectures Packed with full-color illustrations The single-authorship by Weismer who has taught the course for over a decade ensures a fluidity and uniformity of style that is missing from other texts. Furthermore, he has deliberately kept coverage of each element of the course concise and planned to convey the core of important information for each topic. The author\'s aim throughout has been to present the latest research in a manner that serves the needs of the instructor and keeps the interest of the student by getting straight to the point and avoiding unnecessary diversions and digressions. Features color illustrations and text boxes. Note: This is the bound book only and does not include access to the Enhanced Pearson eText.

Speech Science: An Integrated Approach to Theory and Clinical Practice, 4th Edition focuses on the relationship between the scientific study of speech production and perception and the application of the material to the effective evaluation and treatment of communication disorders. Theoretical material is presented first, followed by clinical application chapters highlighting specific disorders. The organization of chapters in the new edition now more closely follows the speech subsystems approach, beginning with basic acoustics, and moving on to the respiratory system, phonatory system, articulatory/resonatory system, auditory system, and nervous system. As in previous editions, the book concludes with information on classic and current models and theories of speech production and perception. New and revised full color illustrations and larger spectrograms supplement the concepts presented by clearly depicting scientific and anatomical material and ensuring understanding of the links between the underlying science and human communicative behavior.

This first edition text provides readers with a comprehensive look at hearing science and a broad coverage of auditory mechanisms and functions. The ideal tool for building knowledge in the area, Hearing Science: A Foundational Approach by Durrant and Feth covers such topics as the capacities of the auditory system basic concepts of quantification and physics the decibel peripheral and central auditory systems auditory physiology and neurophysiology and hearing capacities and proclivity. It also presents the fundamental concepts of physics, acoustics, anatomy, physiology, and sensory psychology to help readers comprehend the complex auditory processes presented. Communication Sciences and Disorders: From Science to Clinical Practice, Fourth Edition is the ideal introductory text for undergraduate students enrolled in their first course in communication sciences and disorders. Written by experts in the field, this text contains fundamental information about speech disorders that are related to impairments in articulation, voice, and fluency, while providing the essential information on the speech, language, and hearing sciences combined with practical information about assessment and intervention practices. This new edition provides readers with a wide-angle view of communication disorders, covering the variety of topics that speech, language, and hearing scientists study, and the variety of individuals that Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists treat. Topics are methodically organized to match the flow of the introductory course, beginning with an overview of the professions, the nature of communication across the life span, and social-cultural issues that affect communication and communication disorders. Section Two examines the variety of speech disorders, including chapters focusing on speech sound disorders in children, voice disorders, cleft lip and palate, fluency disorders, motor speech disorders, augmentative communication, and dysphagia. Section Three covers language disorders in children and acquired neurogenic language disorders, while Section Four concludes with a discussion on hearing and hearing disorders.
