Speech and Hearing Science: Anatomy and Physiology by Willard Zemlin

Finely illustrated and exceptionally readable, this 4th edition of the leading text in Speech and Hearing Science, is dedicated to the habilitation and rehabilitation of the speech and hearing impaired. This comprehensive and highly popular text provides a solid foundation in the anatomy and physiology of respiration, phonation, articulation, neurology, and hearing. Now in its 4th edition, this classic text features a highly readable format, clearer illustrations, and the addition of a second colour. Clinically relevant materials punctuate the entire text, as well as in-depth supplemental and clinical notes. Key terms are boldfaced, and numerous new illustrations create dramatic visual impact.
