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.

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.

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.

The "like new" copy of the textbook I received had lots of highlighting and much marginalia. That was disappointing enough but I received the book in very poor condition - corner smashed in and pages rumpled and compressed together so they were very difficult to disengage and flatten out to turn and actually READ. Cover ripped. Poor packaging for such a heafty but pliable tome. The discount (about $40) wasn't worth getting a brand new one.
