Considered "THE" essential textbook for Medical, Dental, and Speech professionals who desire to study the field of Orofacial Myology. The text covers every aspect of identification, etiology, and treatment of orofacial muscular abnormalities. The authors include a complete and comprehensive core therapy program, applicable photos, and an all-inclusive bibliography and author index. In addition, there is an excellent section written on thumb and finger sucking habit elimination. This book is considered by most professionals in the field to be the finest text available on the subject of Orofacial Myology, and should be a part of every college medical and dental library. I purchased the paperback (which I think is an excellent value). However, I now wish I had bought the hardcover, because I know I will use it for many years to come. This book should be a resource text for ALL dental and speech professionals involved in this rewarding field. If you could only buy one book on this field of study, CHOOSE THIS BOOK!

Not so much a book as a journal of beautiful thoughts, observations, contemplations. Barrett has almost died several times and is now in his 80s. This book made me feel a whole lot better about getting old.

This book was not what I was looking for. My teacher assigned us a Biography/Autobiography book report (like every month), and I checked this book out in the library. Yeah, maybe its ok for 4-8 year olds, this book is really boring for children like me. This book had stuff I already knew about, and I didn't learn anything. It was really boring and had no interesting facts. So, if you are looking for a book with a detailed scope about Thomas Jefferson, read another book.

This is a great book for older remedial students as well as grades 1-4. The primary facts are here with some illustrations. The text is simple and easily understood.
