Loss of linguistic ability cast light on how a language process circuit in our brains works.This book, though, explains what happens when aphasia develops but at the same time induces thinking of how our brains process visual and audible signals coming from outside in lingustic way mainly through Broca's and Wernicke areas.This book is also good for those who are learning a foreign language.
I truly did not care for this book as a textbook. It reads more narrative style and it is very difficult to find information quickly. The author makes some great points, but the book as a whole is poorly organized and written. In my course evaluation, I suggested the professor discontinue the use of this book. This is one of the very few textbooks from graduate school that I don't mind reselling. We used this in conjuntion with Nancy Helm-Estabrooks' Aphasia Manual, which was a much easier read.
I looked "inside this book," which gave me a view of the Table of Contents. I liked what I saw, because there was a decent chapter on transcortical motor aphasias, on which I wanted an update. So I ordered and downloaded the Kindle edition, which would be the 2011 edition. There was no chapter on TMA. In fact, all the chapters on specific syndromes were gone. Instead, there appeared to be much more focus on rehabilitation. And chapter 2 is now on "Humanistic" aspects of language disorders, whatever that may mean.So, if you're sizing this up for a Kindle purchase, be forewarned: the TOC you get in the preview of the 2004 edition is radically different from the one you will receive. I have ordered a used copy of the 2004 edition.
I have gone through a few chapters and really enjoy reading this. I'm not a hard science person and very much so appreciate the way in which this book was written.
I don't usually think required textbooks are a "good" read. however this one is surprisingly easy to read and get the necessary information. Happy Learning.
Not as thorough as I expected but still very informative and helpful for those who are trying to learn about neurological speech disorders.
