Publication Date: August 2010

Price: $59.95
B&T YBP
Beginning with an examination of what signals and systems are, the book develops a thorough background from which many of the most important issues in speech and hearing can be tackled. The knowledge gained is applied directly to topics like measuring sound pressure with decibels, understanding the functioning of the cochlea, interpreting spectrograms, and explaining the acoustic aspects of speech. More than 300 illustrations, all drawn specifically for the book, present the relevant concepts using only minimal mathematics. An informal, friendly and informative style of writing is maintained throughout. The newly revised edition has more emphasis on the digital techniques which have become so prevalent in the field, particularly as regards the processes used to make speech spectrograms.
