Originally published in 1976, this introduction to hearing was
intended to provide a sufficient introduction to each of several
subareas of hearing so that the serious student can read the more
advanced treatments with greater appreciation and understanding. It
was intended for upper graduate and graduate students. It assumes
some mathematical sophistication – calculus for example, but
there is some review of more basic concepts, such as logarithms.
There is also a brief treatment of the necessary material from the
different disciplines – physics, physiology, psychology, anatomy
and mathematics – that a student of hearing will need to know.

Some 300 species of amphibians inhabit North America. The past two
decades have seen an enormous growth in interest about amphibians
and an increased intensity of scientific research into their
fascinating biology and continent-wide distribution. This atlas
presents the spectacular diversity of North American amphibians in
a geographic context. It covers all formally recognized amphibian
species found in the United States and Canada, many of which are
endangered or threatened with extinction. Illustrated with maps and
photos, the species accounts provide current information about
distribution, habitat, and conservation. Researchers, professional
herpetologists, and anyone intrigued by amphibians will value North
American Amphibians as a guide and reference.
This book reviews recent research on the ability of human listeners
to discern changes in the shape of complex acoustic spectra-what is
known as auditory profile analysis. It also discusses in a
systematic way issues surrounding the discrimination of a change in
acoustic intensity and the physiological mechanisms responsible for
these discrimination processes. The author concludes with two new
theories that provide a way of understanding more complex auditory
skills, such as those involved in listening to music and speech.
This book will be of interest to psychoacousticians,
psychophysicists, physiological psychologists, and experimental
psychologists.
