"...well worth reading, especially for those with an interest in the comparative approach to auditory perception. The book is a good one."—Contemporary Psychology"The book can serve as a compendium of many valuable studies relating to specific, but divergent, aspects of audition. Strongly recommended as a reference for graduate students studying auditory perception, animal behavior, linguistics, and speech/language pathology."—CHOICE
