Book Description
The best-selling voice book that contains the most complete voice treatment material in the field has a new look and a new sound. While The Voice and Voice Therapy, Sixth Edition boasts the most up-to-date facilitation techniques and the best tested clinical stimulation approaches available today, the accompanying CD-ROM illustrates voice problems in children and adults, and methods of relevant therapy.
This edition divides voice disorders into three causal areas (functional, organic and neurogenic) with a separate chapter devoted to each area. Evaluation procedures are then presented with some emphasis given to particular evaluation strategies for identified causal areas. Disorders not often addressed, including sulcus vocalis, muscle tension dysphonia, and paradoxial vocal fold dysfunction are also covered in this text. This book also presents facilitating approaches in table form, detailing when a particular approach is useful, listing the sequence of therapy steps for that approach, and illustrating the outcome using the approach with a particular patient. These therapy approaches are also illustrated on the CD-ROM, making the therapy process come alive.
For Speech-Language Pathology practitioners.

Adventures of the Kentucky Pioneer "D. Boon".......2003-06-24
This book is a nice sketch of the life of Daniel Boone, first published by the University Press of Kentucky in 1978. While it does not compare with the larger and more valuable biographies of Draper, and Bakeless, and lacks the primary value of Boone's own account of himself in Filson's "Kentucke" (1784), it is a nice survey, and may be more appreciated by younger readers, or by those new to the subject, than the larger volumes.
Book Description
Is Your Voice Telling On You? is a user-friendly self-help book designed to help people to find and use their natural voices as well as a useful tool for the speech-language pathologist to use with patients with voice disorders. Following the huge success of the acclaimed first edition (translated into the Portuguese language and commended by experts worldwide), this new second edition continues to captivate readers by including a variety of interesting, simple self-tests that lead the reader to 10 easy steps for finding and keeping the natural voice.

Good Practical Advice for Improving Your Voice.......2005-06-01
As a non-professional (in terms of not being a singer, although I do frequently use my voice in my job), I believe Boone has written an excellent title full of practical advice for improving your voice. I concur with the earlier reviewer that the book is decidedly targeted towards the layperson. Considering that the author's audience is probably mainly nonprofessionals who only want to improve their voice, this is a sound approach.
Among the helpful areas convered in the book include:
1. Problems with too loud or too soft a voice.
2. Suggestions for improving your voice's loudness.
3. Stressful situations and physical stressors that can affect your voice.
4. 6 ways to control stage fright.
5. Common problems of the male and female voice.
6. Voice tips for men and women.
7. 10 suggestions for keeping your natural voice.
If you are a nonprofessional who is interested in improving your voice, then I highly recommend this title as a practical and helpful tool. Read and enjoy!
A good book for novices in the field of voice.......2000-05-21
Daniel Boone , a renowned name in the field of speech pathology, has written a readable self help book for any person who is keen on improving his/her voice. 'Voice Care & Vocal Enhancement' is a complex and specialised subject .But, Daniel Boone has written it in a simple, easy to understand format which would appeal even to a novice.The tests devised to gauge the various parameters of the voice viz. breath control, loudness level, optimum pitch, tone focus are easy to follow.The exercises for improving various aspects of the voice can be easily understood and performed by the reader. However,the book is aimed mainly at the layperson and is not for you if you are a singer or performing artiste who has a fair knowledge of the voice.

Good Story.......2005-08-28
I learned a lot about indians and life in early america. I liked learing the facts and what really happened. It was really exciting. I think 8 and up should read this book. (...).
Amazon.com
The legend of the American frontier is largely the legend of a single individual, Daniel Boone, who looms over our folklore like a giant. Boone figures in other traditions as well: Goethe held him up as the model of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's "natural man," and Lord Byron devoted several stanzas of his epic poem Don Juan to the frontiersman, calling Boone "happiest of mortals any where." But folklore is not history, and we are fortunate to have a reliable and factual life of Boone through the considerable efforts of John Mack Faragher. The contradictory admirer of Indians who participated in their destruction, the slaveholder who cherished liberty, the devoted family man who prized solitude and would disappear into the woods for years at a time--the real Boone is far more interesting than the mythical image, and in this book we finally catch sight of him.
Book Description
Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for History for 1993In the first and most reliable biography of Daniel Boone in more than fifty years, award-winning historian Faragher brilliantly portrays America's famous frontier hero. Drawing from popular narrative, the public record, scraps of documentation from Boone's own hand, and a treasure of reminiscence gathered by nineteenth-century antiquarians, Faragher uses the methods of new social history to create a portrait of the man and the times he helped shape. Blending themes from a much vitalized Western and frontier history with the words and ideas of ordinary people, Faragher has produced a book that will stand as the definitive life of Daniel Boone for decades to come, and one that illuminates the frontier world of Boone like no other.

A true woodsman.......2007-08-13
This book provided very detailed information regarding Daniel Boone and his relatives. He's a legend worth learning about. You'll be able to separate the myths about him from the truth, according to the best available data.
Be ready for a long read.
Well Detailed Book on the Great Backwoodsman.......2006-10-11
Well written and detailed book on America's back woodsman who seemed a precursor to the Mountain Man. Hailing from Pennsylvania, the author tracks Boone's introduction and love of hunting from his early years through his family's move to North carolina to Kentucky finishing his mature years in Missouri due to his constant thirst for better hunting and less people. Fascinating account of Boone's unique relationship with the Indians and cool head. His ability to sustain himself like a native and stay in the wilds alone or with small bands. The author not only does well detailing how Boone led parties into Kentucky and creating settlements but also verifies several exploits such as his saving the lives of his daughter and her friend who were kidnapped by Indians by using his knowledge of the geography of the land and the trails that the Indians used.
The author also details well Boone's controversial surrendering of his men to the Indians in exchange for sparing families at Boonesboro that is still somewhat puzzling as many thought him a traitor. Also a bit of a paradox is Boone's love of the hunt, staying away from home sometimes for a year or more while fathering 8 to 10 kids with Rebecca. Also interesting is his relationship with Rebecca who endured his long hunts and disappearances and may have had a child not Boone's that he accepted as the the consequences of his absence. Well worth reading, even covers Boone's warts particularly as a land surveyor, that obviously was not his skill. And unlike Fess Parker and the legend, he never wore a cookskin cap. But the author makes the facts as fascinating as the legend as Boone was in fact a fearless and independent man of the wilderness.
Very informative and enjoyable.......2006-02-22
This is a terrific book on Boone, someone who was almost more of a legend and a myth to me than a real man. This book gives an absorbing and detailed account of his life. I didn't even know so much was actually known about Boone, but Boone was a man of great personal character and courage whose exploits were documented in many letters about him and in his diary. Also, the women get detailed treatment too, so you learn about their contributions on the frontier, too.
The American Revolution to the east mostly passed Boone by, but he was fighting another revolution and battle on the frontiers against the Indians. Some of the tribes I hadn't even heard of, such as the Westo, and I've read at least a little of Amerindian ethnology and history so I know the basics. Many of the battles and fights against the Indians are discussed in detail, which makes for fascinating reading as you see how tough and tactically sophisticated the Indians were in forest fighting engagements, which the settlers realized they had to adopt too or be wiped out.
Oddly enough, Boone was not always lionized as a frontier hero, there are cartoons of him lampooning his sometimes reclusive, loner ways, and his insatiable need for "elbow room," for which he sometimes left his family for weeks on end to go on long hunts and to explore the vast interior frontier. Sometimes the book goes fast, sometimes a little slow, as a read, but overall a very interesting book on this early American great and his adventures and trials and tribulations.
Who was Daniel Boone? .......2006-01-16
John Mack Faragher believes that he was an American so steeped in legend and myth that while his name is known to all he is completely misunderstood. Faragher seeks to draw a portrait of Boone the man, minus the legend and myth, and his work is a wonderful reassessment of this iconic American hero. What we learn is that Boone was fine frontiersman who enjoyed the forests and the natural environment of Kentucky. He had a genuine affinity with the Shawnee Indians, with whom he had much in common but fought repeatedly and eventually helped to vanquish from the region. Boone was at his best when he was able to demonstrate a natural courage in the face of adversity, whether it be in fighting the Shawnee or in confronting other enemies. He had ambitions as a land speculator and entrepreneur but never made it work. He made and lost several fortunes in his lifetime.
The Daniel Boone of this biography is neither the intrepid loner of legend nor the larger than life frontiersman. He was essentially a family man who tried to ensure his place in the economy of Revolutionary America, going to the frontier to do so, and securing an inheritance for his children. Even-tempered and intelligent, if not well-educated, Boone was a man out for the "main chance." In dangerous times he rose to the occasion, as in the siege of Boonesborough in 1778, his captivity by the Shawnee for several months, and the rescue of his daughter Jemima and Betsy and Fanny Calloway from Indians when they were abducted.
Faragher does a fine job in separating the fact from the fiction of Boone's life, and this is an elegant and entertaining as well as illuminating book. If you have any interest whatsoever in the life of Daniel Boone this is the book to start with in learning about his remarkable life on the American frontier.
One of the Great Biographies of Boone the Kentuckian.......2005-08-16
This is an excellent book in many ways. I would recommend it as a companion to the works of Draper, Bakeless, and of course his own "autobiographical" article in Filson, and the interviews with his son by Draper ("My Father, Daniel Boone: The Draper Interviews With Nathan Boone").
My particular interest in Daniel Boone is his association with Big Bone Lick, and his early visits there and I have written on this subject. Anyone seriously interested in early Kentucky history should read this book.
Book Description
First published in the early 1800s, this true-life account set the record straight on the mythic Daniel Boone and established him as an American hero.
Customer Reviews:
A bit of Crocket.......2007-08-09
Here's a word from someone who should know more about history but does not (I'm working on it). This book on Crocket is really not quite what some of you might expect. Only the very beginning is by Crocket himself and it's quite brief. I was very disappointed by that. Had I known more about history I might have known ahead of time that he did not write a whole lot (although he comes across as quite intelligent and learned). The rest of the book is just not that great. Worth a read, but not a hearty recommendation.

Nathan and Olive Discuss Father Daniel Boone.......2003-06-24
Nathan Boone and his wife, Olive van Bibber Boone, had the kind of memories most people wish for. They remembered virtually all of the early history of Commonwealth of Kentucky. When Lyman Draper came to visit them for two months in 1851 he found them full of the most interesting and detailed memories of Daniel Boone. Not only had the elder Boone lived with them and shared his own memories, they had also lived through many of the incidents themselves, and knew many of the old pioneers -- old van Bibber was one of the earliest settlers in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Enjoyable, highly readable. I highly recommend this book.
Boone, From Myth to Reality.......2000-09-06
The Draper Interviews provide insight into the life of Boone, free of the myth and larger than life stereotype that has always surrounded this remarkable frontiersman. Nathan Boone's recollections of his father also gives us a glimpse of how Daniel himself viewed the world in which he lived and allows us to more clearly understand the man from which the legend sprung. Though many books written from similiar interviews are dull and rather boring, the Draper Interviews are arranged so that they make for rather stimulating reading and keep the reader eagerly in longing for the next chapter. Truly a "must read" for anyone interested in Daniel Boone or early Kentucky history.

Daniel Boone.......2003-06-24
One of many books about Boone. This one lacks the substance of many others. The best is that by Lyman Draper. Second is that by Nathan Boone. The book by John Bakeless is a very good earlier study, and covers all the ground well. I suggest this book for younger people, but scholars will want to look elsewhere.
Watch out for errors!.......2002-04-11
My initial perusal of this book picked up the following rather blatant mistakes:
Back Cover: "Wearing a cap made from raccoon skin . . ." (In real life, Daniel Boone never wore a coonskin cap.)
Page 13: The homestead is comprised of 250 acres, not 25.
Page 17: Fort Necessity is NOT located "at the site where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers merge to form the Ohio." That's where Fort Duquesne, later Fort Pitt, stood. Fort Necessity is 50 miles to the southeast.
Page 19: The caption identifies Boone's rifle as "Lick-Ticker." Try "Tick Licker."
Page 47: Two, not three, of Boone's children were killed.
