\ From The CriticsReviewer: Ryan McCreery, M.S.(Boys Town National Research Hospital)\ Description: This book provides background for clinicians and researchers interested in measuring a wide range of auditory evoked responses. In addition to chapters on the entire range of auditory evoked potentials that can be measured in humans, the book also includes chapters on applications of auditory evoked potentials in auditory neuropathy and with cochlear implants.\ Purpose: It is designed as a handbook for measuring auditory evoked potentials for individuals from a broad range of professions including audiologists, neuroscientists, and physiologists. Many previous volumes in this topic have been oriented towards clinical assessment of auditory evoked potentials (EP) by audiologists. While the book does include a broad range of information related to clinical assessment, it also covers auditory EP used in research protocols. The book effectively balances clinical and research applications.\ Audience: It is intended for audiologists, neurologists, psychologists, and physiologists, but given the solid foundation provided by early chapters, the book also could be appropriate for graduate students in these fields. The author is a well-known contributor to the field of auditory evoked potentials.\ Features: The book is conceptually divided into three major sections. The first section provides in-depth background on the measurement of auditory evoked potentials, including basic physiological concepts and general measurement considerations. The second section outlines specific auditory evoked potentials and the measurement of those responses. The third section covers specific applications of auditory evoked potentials, including infant hearing assessment, neurotology, auditory neuropathy, and cochlear implants. This group of chapters provides a unique perspective on the applications for auditory evoked potentials.\ Assessment: This is a comprehensive overview of a wide range of auditory evoked responses for clinicians and researchers. The chapters on applications of auditory evoked potentials for neurotology, auditory neuropathy, and cochlear implants are important elements.\ \
