Complete and Informative
As a singer, student and teacher, I find this book to be most helpful in understanding basic pedagogy, as well as understang some of the common and some un-common ailments of the vocalis. This book discusses endocrine dysfunction, neurological disorders, phsycological issues and myriad other issues as they relate to singing. A consise but more than adequet chapter on historical pedagogy precedes two chapters on vocal and choral pedagogy, respectively. Two good appendices follow a complete glossary. Well worth reading. Note that it is a TEXT book, written by a doctor, and for a newer vocal student, it may not be the best book. ... Read more

Book Description

It is only recently that the use of the endoscope as the sole visualizing tool has been introduced in transsphenoidal pituitary surgery with its favorable related implications and minimal operative trauma. Of course, microscopic and endoscopic anatomy are basically the same, but the optical distorsion of endoscopic images is quite substantial compared to microscopic depictions. An endoscope lens produces images with maximal magnification at its center and severe contraction at its periphery. Nearer images are disproportionally enlarged and remote images are falsely miniaturized. This optical illusion may disorientate a surgeon who is not familiar with this peculiar condition at the skull base. This atlas acts as a guide through the endoscopic anatomy and gives detailed descriptions of the preoperative management and the surgical procedures. ... Read more
