Very thorough introduction to stuttering This was a required text for my fluency disorders course. I found it to be an excellent introduction to the subject and assessment/treatment of stuttering. Very thorough, up-to-date and easy to read. | ||
Long-winded... While this book is very interesting and well-sequenced, the chapters are too long-winded. As a graduate student, I have a lot of reading to do already. The author of this text (Manning) will go on and on for 4 pages just to make 1 simple point. This text needs severe editing to make the material more condense! It takes the enjoyment out of learning about fluency disorders(which is a very fascinating subject). If you're not a grad student, and have plenty of free time on your hands, then go ahead and purchase this book. Better yet, wait til the end of semester & I'm sure students will be looking to get rid of it. I would never keep this book as a reference tool. I only purchased it because it was required for the course. | ||
Book in very good shape! This book was exactly as described before I purchased it. I was very satisfied, and I would buy from the seller again! | ||
