Anatomy and Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book offers a broad coverage of the underlying structures and processes of speech. Beyond a primitive stage, man is unique in his ability to convey information by using his voice. And he has developed this ability from systems designed for more vital goals (eg., respiration and nutrition). In this respect, the work by Seikel, King and Drumright proves a great resource for studying the entire apparatus involved in voice production and perception, specifically the systems of respiration (energy source), phonation (voicing), articulation and resonation filtering), mastication and deglution, hearing, and neural. Furthermore, it includes several appendices for quick access to anatomical terms, morphology of terms, muscles, sensors and nerves, and a review of pathologies affecting production of voice. What I liked the most about the book is that you are systematically guided through all the germane systems, and when pertinent, the book provides references for deeper understanding of the material. Besides, after you have read sufficient content, the book shows summaries for reinforcement of the learnt concepts. Also, there are clinical notes distributed throughout the text, with germane discussions (related processes, pathologies, etc.). And every chapter has a set of questions for assessment of your understanding (do not worry, answers are included!).
If you are concretelly focused on speech production, this book is a gold mine. They review the Source-Filter theory of speech production, and you can somewhat independently approach the excitation source and the filter ("shaping" of the source signal in the supraglottal airways). There is also an interesting discussion of the Central Control Theory and the Action Theory Model for coordinated articulation. Naturally, you will be presented a detailed list of muscles, and the qualitative effects of their contraction. Additionally, the CD-ROM includes the Anatesse software, useful for additional review of the subjects, and for self evaluation too! And finally, this is not your typical, dry textbook. On the contrary, it's a completely friendly, fun and professional intellectual product. Fully recommended.

Anatomy and Physiology for Speech and Language Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For any Speech Pathology grad students reading this, get this book! Yeah, it's a bit old (as evidenced by the "diskette" it comes with), but the anatomy and physiology are the same. It's very clear and easy to understand. The diagrams are an extra bonus, as is the VCR tape (again, a bit dated), but I can't say enough. I will be keeping this book as a reference tool for years to come!
If any of your speech courses require you to learn anatomy & physiology, buy it. You won't be sorry :-D

Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide for Speech and Hearing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I expected the book that I ordered to be all old and used, but in all actuality it was still in the plastic brand new. That was great. It appears to me that the seller goes above and beyond for the customer.

This study guide is uniquely designed to complement current introductory textbooks and online courses in speech and hearing anatomy and physiology. Whether taught face-to-face or online, anatomy and physiology courses and their accompanying texts are dense in content. This workbook answers the need for a practical book, being neither unnecessarily complex nor academic, for undergraduate training in speech-language pathology. It is designed to allow students to work at their own pace, to learn how to organize, how to bring together, and how to functionally apply the content learned in their coursework. The Study Guide is organized into seven units. The first unit contains a comprehensive synopsis of anatomy and physiology, including content such as locator terms, planes of reference, and anatomical position, enabling students to learn the vocabulary needed to study anatomy and physiology. The second unit takes a brief look at the basics of cells and tissues to form a foundation for study of larger structures. The remainder of the workbook organizes speech and hearing anatomy into the functional categories of respiration, phonation, articulation, as well as the nervous and auditory systems. Each unit provides an extremely well-written, practical summary of the particular speech and hearing system, followed by learning objectives, specific questions students can answer in outline format, and finally, a self-test. This all-new Study Guide clarifies and simplifies a complex element of the introductory course and provides an ideal complementary learning and self-testing tool for students. Complements all undergraduate textbooks and courses in anatomy and physiology Contains illustrations designed specifically to help the student identify the body parts and functions involved in human speech and hearing. Features a practical easy-to-use design with comprehensive unit-by-unit outlines Provides self-tests and test answers for each unit.

Hear Your Heart (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book has captivated my 4 1/2 year old son. (My 8 year old daughter likes it, too) My son actually stood up in preschool yesterday (he is normally quiet) and taught the class details of how the heart works and the parts of the heart. His teacher's were amazed that he was sharing something, so they let him teach. We have to read this book over and over again.
