ABOUT THE BOOK
Intended for the first course in anatomy and physiology in Speech-Language Pathology departments, this new textbook aims to teach students how basic science is transforming the way the field now understands and treats communications disorders. As the first new text for this course to take a modern, neurological approach to the subject, the book incorporates a full appreciation of role the central nervous system in speech and communication. By synthesizing theory, anatomy and physiology, and neurology, the text gives students a stronger understanding of today's scientific landscape and prepares them for the inevitable breakthroughs in the future.
This task is in the hands of a master teacher. The author has taught the course for more than a decade and knows that this subject is challenging for many students. He uses a wealth of didactic illustrations to bring greater understanding, increasing knowledge acquisition rather than lowering expectations. For example, on the elusive topic of phonation, Charpied has developed a technique to look at each aspect from multiple perspectives, increasing comprehension and maintaining students' enthusiasm for the course.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
George L. Charpied, M.S. has been a clinically certified speech pathologist for 12 years. Presently, Mr. Charpied is Director of the Department of Speech Pathology within the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Rochester's Medical Center. He was director of the Center for Voice and Swallowing Disorders at Boston Medical Center. He has taught at Boston University and Northeastern University graduate and undergraduate courses in Introduction to Speech Science, Anatomy and Physiology of the Vocal Mechanism, Neurological Bases of Communication, and Speech Science seminars. His research interests include laryngeal anatomy and its nervous integration, quantification of images of the larynx and velopharyngeal mechanism, the role of amyloidosis and recurrent respiratory papillomatosis in laryngeal dysfunction, and computer assisted analysis of flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing studies. Mr. Charpied has been a participant in national and international meetings where he has presented his research work. He has published articles and abstracts.
