Communication with the Cancer Patient
In many parts of the world seriously ill patients are not informed of their diagnoses. Consequences of this for the patient are not being informed about the therapy and its possible side-effects and ultimately deprivaion of autonomy. Telling the truth to a patient is not simply a matter of providing information. Rather, the truth is a matter of two-way communication, the result of a relationship between doctor and patient that develops over time in the context of a given culture. In this volume oncologists in different countries give their perceptions of how truth telling is handled in their cultures.

Speech Prosody: from Acoustics to Interpretation
This book presents the author’s personal overview of Speech Prosody, and in particular the different areas in which he has been especially interested over the last few decades. These include the acoustics of speech prosody, the relationship between lexical and non-lexical prosody, the phonology of prosody, the modeling of rhythm and of melody, and the central question of the various and at times quite mysterious ways in which prosody contributes to the interpretation of an utterance. All these aspects are then brought together in an account of the description of intonation systems, and how these differ across languages.
