Phonetics
A problem-based introduction to phonetics, with over three hundred exercises integrated into the text to help the student discover and practice the subject interactively. It assumes no previous knowledge of the subject and highlights and explains new terms and concepts when they are first introduced. Graded review questions and exercises at the end of every unit help the student monitor their own progress and further practice new skills, and there is frequent cross-referencing for the student to see how the subject fits together and how later concepts build on earlier ones. The book highlights the differences between speech and writing in Unit One and covers all the essential topics of a phonetics course.
The War Years
Anne Knight's early poems give us a glimpse of the 1939-1945 war through the eyes of a young girl. The war is always there, in the background, but life is dominated by the practicalities of living in wartime Britain. Practical things - such as food - dominate. And throughout there is a strong sense of family. But most of all this is a child's tale from a child's world. A child learning to swallow her disappointments and to take death in her stride.

The volume covers all the most important issues, concepts, movements and approaches in the field, looking at both the core and applied domains of phonetics and speech science. It offers insights into areas as diverse as the acquisition, production and perception of speech, and clinical and forensic phonetics. There is a state of the art exploration of voice and phonation, tone and intonation, phonetic pedagogy, speech technology and phonetic universals.
Black and Blue
High school was tough for the kids who didn't fit in at St. Agatha High, but a group of talented teens find solace in music. Gavin Armstrong has disdain for all things popular, while Kristen Carmichael struggles to bridge the gap between the popular kids and Gavin's band of misfits. Amidst all this turmoil, Gavin finds himself grudgingly falling in love with Kristen. While he helps her find her own identity and teaches her how to look beyond the surface value of things, she helps him find meaning and purpose in his life. Eight years after graduation, Gavin and his friends have achieved stardom with their rock band, and Kristen is now a supermodel. Meddling friends bring these two stubborn soul mates back together, and things have an odd way of circling back to their circumstances in high school. Sexual tension mounts, and high school secrets are revealed. Can these two obstinate kindred spirits put aside their fears and pride and admit their true feelings for each other?

The Cambridge Handbook of Phonetics
Phonetics - the study and classification of speech sounds - is a major sub-discipline of linguistics. Bringing together a team of internationally renowned phoneticians, this handbook provides comprehensive coverage of the most recent, cutting-edge work in the field, and focuses on the most widely-debated contemporary issues. Chapters are divided into five thematic areas: segmental production, prosodic production, measuring speech, audition and perception, and applications of phonetics. Each chapter presents an historical overview of the area, along with critical issues, current research and advice on the best practice for teaching phonetics to undergraduates. It brings together global perspectives, and includes examples from a wide range of languages, allowing readers to extend their knowledge beyond English. By providing both state-of-the-art research information, and an appreciation of how it can be shared with students, this handbook is essential both for academic phoneticians, and anyone with an interest in this exciting, rapidly developing field.
